Turnips have an inherent sweetness that is highlighted by the syrup, cider vinegar and Dijon mustard combination used to make the bright glaze. The smokiness of the bacon provides a savory counterpoint.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips: Look for small, tender turnips with smooth skin. Avoid any that are too large or have blemishes.
  • Peel the turnips thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the turnips, make sure there is enough space between them so that they can brown evenly.
  • Cook the turnips until they are tender: This will usually take about 15-20 minutes. You can test them by piercing them with a fork. If they are tender, they are done.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld and develop. You can make it up to a day in advance.
  • Serve the turnips hot: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, while the glaze is still warm and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Glazed turnips with bacon is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The turnips are tender and flavorful, and the glaze is sweet and savory. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
