My mom submitted this recipe in her church cookbook. She was my mom through blood but my friend by choice. She was one precious woman and I miss her every single day! NOTE: see tip at bottom of recipe on how to cut turnips.

    TIPS ON HOW TO CUT TURNIPS: First, cut ends off turnip. Second, stand turnip on one of cut ends & cut turnip in half. Third, lay on flat end & cut each half into slices, the size of home fries. Fourth, cut slices in half. Fifth, peel slices. I cut rutabeggas this way, too.
