Most people roast their turnips, grate them in a salad– and I think that’s kind of it. Because who would think of turning them into a meatless meatball?? Ashley Madden of Rise Shine Cook! That’s who. And what a beautiful idea it is. This is such a fun way to move turnips over to main dish category, rather than always having them hang out on the side of your plate.
