I tried to use turnip as a substitute for potatoes in a lentil recipe. It
turned out well, but I want to see what steps others follow to prepare the
turnip.

My assumption was that turnip is bitter and you wouldn't want to dice it and
just add it directly to a recipe. So I cut into pieces and put those in
water. I then microwaved those to near boiling for two minutes. Then I put
on defrost mode for 10 minutes to just keep heat high. At the end of that
time I drained the water and just added the cut turnip into a sautee of
other vegetables and spices.

I have no idea if my precook step of turnips was appropriate at all, or if
was for too much time. How do others work with turnip?
