Ingredients

  • 3 medium-size turnips (about 1 ½ pounds [675 g] total) 2

Method

Peel the turnips and cut them into wedges about ¾ inch [2 cm] thick at the thickest part. You should be able to get about 8 wedges out of a medium-size turnip. If you want, use a small paring knife to trim the edges off the wedges to give them a somewhat rounder shape.

Sauté the turnips in the rendered duck fat or butter over medium heat until they turn golden brown but aren’t cooked al
