Recipe Highlight | Turnip Puff

This recipe comes from a Sunnyside resident who says "Turnips suck, but this puff makes them taste so good!" We don't necessarily agree with the first half of that statement, but she is definitely right about the second part! This turnip puff acts as a great side dish and makes 6 servings.
