How to Sous Vide Turnip

Most sous vide turnips are cut into 1/2" to 1" cubes, or sliced into rounds, before placing them in a single layer in the sous vide bag. They are usually tender when cooked for 45 to 60 minutes at 183°F to 185°F (83.9°C to 85°C). However, some turnips, especially certain varieties and farm-fresh ones can already be very tender and need a shorter cooking time

For a more savory flavor add some thyme, rosemary, and olive oil to the sous vide pouch when cooking the turnips. They are also easy to caramelize when butter and sugar are added to the pouch and then they are briefly pan fried.

Miso Glazed Sous Vide Turnips Recipe

Using sous vide to glaze turnips is a simple process that results in a great side dish, especially when combined with umami-rich miso. You can also briefly cook turnips and their juices in a pan after sous viding them to reduce the sauce for a richer dish. This recipe also works well for other root vegetables such as carrots, radishes, and parsnips.
