Om,

I've never had turnips mashed, although I hear that's very common.
I've only had them roasted or steamed. An ex with Southern roots
introduced me to greens. I'm no longer with her, but I still buy
greens every once in a while.

I've bought baby turnips with the tops at the farmers market. Just
steam them as is and serve them turnips and greens still attached.
Just some salt and pepper if you want. It's as simple as can be and a
nice presentation.

Thanks,

Ken
