If you like fried foods try this.

Po' Man's Dish

1 medium onion peeled and cut into 1/4" wedges
2 or 3 medium pototes cut 1/2" dice
2 carrots slice into 1/4" rounds
12 pods of Okra cut into 1/2" dice (if you like okra)
2 medium sized turnips cut 1/2" dice (make sure you peel all the outer skin, it's bitter)
2 yellow squash or zucchini 1/2" dice
Pour 1/2 cup of corn meal, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper (or to taste) into a bag, add vegetables and shake to coat.
Fry on stovetop like you were frying okra or skillet fried potatoes.

If you don't like fried foods try this.

Baked Turnip or Rutabaga Fries

Preheat oven to 425 degrees
spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray
Peel and slice turnips into steak fry size pieces
Put 2 Tablespoons seasoned salt like Lowery's or McCormack's in a bag, add the turnips and shake well to coat
Arrange turnips in a single layer on cookie sheet
Spray with cooking spray

Cook in preheated oven for 30 minutes or desired doneness.
