- In a large skillet cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, drain on paper towels, and crumble.

SAVORY OVEN-ROASTED TURNIPS
I have long made oven-roasted red-skin potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots in much this same way, but recently discovered that I can almost *ALMOST* fool myself into thinking I am eating those yummy potatoes with these turnips...

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450*.
- In a high-sided 13x9 in pan (I use an old metal one because I find it gives me the best caramelization on the turnips/onions), combine turnips, onions, and garlic. Spray generously with cooking spray and toss. You could also use olive oil.
- Add all seasonings. I usually start with about 2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper and then taste them each time I stir and adjust those seasonings to taste, but I am a salt-fiend : }.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and stir to allow the veggies to cook evenly. (I taste for seasoning at this point.)
- Return to oven and bake another 15 minutes. Remove and stir again. Depending on how you like your turnips and how thick you sliced them, they may be done at this point. I like mine pretty well done and with some nice caramelization so I return them to the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.

GARY'S SAVORY TURNIP GREENS
I used to hate turnip greens until I tried my DH's recipe...This is it! It's really good, and I can honestly say that even the kids eat this one. It's a Must Try, honestly...Sounds odd, but the flavors really mix together to taste addicting! I've even been known to add 2 strips of bacon crumbled and the grease as well...

Tips:
- Choose the right turnips: Look for turnips that are small and firm, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid turnips that are large or have blemishes, as these may be tough or bitter.
- Roast the turnips before mashing them: Roasting the turnips brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges, giving the dip a richer flavor. If you don't have time to roast the turnips, you can boil them instead, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Use a food processor or blender to make the dip: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the turnips by hand, but it will take a bit longer.
- Season the dip to taste: You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other spices to taste. You can also stir in some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or thyme.
- Serve the dip with your favorite dippers: Some popular dippers for turnip dip include crackers, chips, vegetable sticks, and bread. You can also use the dip as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
Conclusion:
Savory turnip dip is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new dip to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
