Ingredients

  • 3 bunches baby hakurei turnips
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 to taste Kosher salt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Place turnips in a large skillet; add water to cover turnips halfway. Add butter, sugar, and a large pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is syrupy and turnips are tender, about 15 minutes. (if turnips are tender before liquid has reduced, use a slotted spoon to transfer turnips to a plate and reduce liquid until syrupy. Return turnips to pan and stir to coat well.) DO AHEAD: Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm before continuing.
