Turnip greens are another favorite easy garden grown vegetable. Both the turnip under the ground, and the leaves on top are usable, and edible. Both can be washed, chopped, and added to a salad raw. Or, steam them before eating. Chopped and used in casserole dishes, turnips maintain a texture similar to potatoes. Boiled turnip greens go well with most meat dishes. To avoid digestion problems, be sure they are diced and fully cooked. Turnip greens freeze reasonably well. Slice or dice the turnips before freezing for best results later. Bacon bits and an oil and vinegar solution add flavor.
