6-8 medium turnips, pealed and sliced
3 slices bacon
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
Peal turnips and slice (about 1/4 inch thick). Put the sliced turnips in a pan with lid and add enough water to cover the turnips. Add bacon, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt and sugar. Cover and bring to a boil and then turn the heat down and let simmer until tender, about 30 to 45 minutes, then remove the bacon and discard. I like my turnips with more cayenne than this recipe calls for, but it all depends on how cajun you want them. I use 3 small cayenne peppers dried and broken up in the turnips (we grow our own).
