This was so good! I had never made turnips by themselves before (just in soups, etc.) so I wasn't sure if we'd like them. These turned out very good, my fiance is asking for them again! I didn't have sage on hand so I used rosemary instead. I'll try sage next time. They took a little longer to glaze than the recipe says, but I may have had the stove on too low.10/15/08

This was a quick and tasty way to include turnips. I served it with grilled flank steak (another Cooking Light recipe) and steamed zuccini.10/07/07
