Store turnips in the freezer for a long-lasting storage option.
The best way to store turnips depends on how long you want them for. If you're going to be using them quickly, then the refrigerator works just fine. They'll last up to three weeks in the fridge. The freezer will keep turnips fresh for up to 10 months; so if you're not sure when you'll be using them, then the freezer might be a better bet. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
Storing in the Freezer
1. Wash the turnips; then peel and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. You'll want to remove the roots.
2. Throw the turnips into boiling water and let them boil for two minutes. When done, immediately cool the turnips in cold water.
3. Drain out the water; then seal the turnips in an airtight container. Freezer bags work as well. Place in the fridge immediately.
Storing in the Refrigerator
4. Remove the roots with a cutting knife. If you want to save the roots, then store them in a separate bag.
5. Place turnips in a zip-lock bag, and squeeze out all the air. Then seal the bag tight.
6. Place in the refrigerator immediately.
