Does anyone know how to substitute baby turnips with regular ones? I mean size-wize, not flavor.
I have a recipe for bison shepherds’ pie (very tasty) and it calls for the baby variety; I am unable to find any, of course….so I’m using regular. I figured two regular turnips should be an ok substitute for 12 babies, ( I guessed 6 babies=one adult) but since i’ve never actually seen them, i have no clue how small they really are.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Radish,
Last Holiday gave me the the bug also. I looked everywhere for baby turnips, which I believe are young versions of regular turnips; maybe tokyo Cross. Unfortunately since I live in the Northern Virginia area, I have not found them in any of the whole food stores. I think I’m going to have to grow them on my own. I have a small garden out back and usually start my plants off in the summer. Since turnips are a cool weather plant, I will start them off after the last frost this spring. I plan to use your recipe. Wish me luck and I’ll tell you how our baby turnips turn out.

Just found some baby turnips at the farmers market (weirdly off season) so I found this delicious looking recipe. However, you don’t say what temperature to roast the turnips. I’m going to go with 375.

randy, unfortunately, you will need to wait til spring arrives as baby turnips are seasonal only. they are, however, definitely worth the wait!

I have been trying to find the baby turnips since I saw them prepared on the movie “Last Holiday”. I have been asking all our local produce houses, but all they have come up with is a small full grown one. Your recipe sounds great, and I am patiently waitng to try it. Can you give me a hint as to where I can purchase some? Are there any mail order places that sell fresh produce?

They are adorable… and I love the way you prepare them, something I would never think to do.
