The garden plot soil in the middle of January is cold and so are the turnips that are harvested from it. The cold soil only makes the turnips sweeter and easier to peel. You can use a potato or carrot peeler to make peeling turnips easier. Turnips make a great winter meal and can be prepared like mashed potatoes. For a hearty bowl of mashed turnips, peel and cut the turnips into half-inch cubes. Place in a pot and boil until you can stick a fork through them. Drain the water and add one stick light margarine, half pound of crispy fried bacon, drained and broken into small pieces, add one fourth cup sugar, one teaspoon salt, half teaspoon pepper and two teaspoons white Karo corn syrup. Stir and mash with a potato masher or mix with mixer. For creamy turnips, add a couple of teaspoons of Dukes mayonnaise.
