There is scarcely more to tell.  The period original said to boil turnips in fat
broth, so I went the lazy route and used a boullion mix.  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.
