I had the turnips peeled and chopped into half-inch dice, mixed up the boullion to a strength I liked, then dumped in the turnips and cooked until tender but not mushy, "al dente" you might say.  Whole Foods sells the boullion in bulk, but the brand named G. Washington's is probably very similar.  Next time, I may try this with their brown [beef-like] boullion as well.

I agree with Liadan. Although I've tried various turnip recipes that others
have made, I still think delicious turnip dish is an oxymoron. I'll have
to try this and see if it disproves that assumption.
