Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days.
Add the seasonings only for the last five minutes so they will not burn and become bitter.
Feel free to use other spice mixes!
Turnips are cooked when a fork or paring knife slips easily into the flesh without resistance and then out again.
