>> For your turnips to be watery and your greens having lack of flavor, you
>> probably cooked them too long.  Try roasting your turnips in a 425 
>> degrees
>> oven for about 25/30 minutes.  Scrub them or peel them with a potato
>> peeler, cut them into bite size chunks, drizzel them with oil and toss
>> them with your favorite mixed seasonings such as grilling, mrs. dash or
>> something like Italian.  They are really great mixed with any other root
>> vegetable such as potato, sweet potato, carrots, onions, rutabaga and
>> parsnips.
>>
>> For your greens, put a pot of water on to boil with a bullion cube.  Wash
>> greens in coldwater and remove stems if they feel tuff, stack leaves on a
>> cutting board and run your knife through them a few times.  Toss your
>> greens in the boiling water and check them at about 10 minutes to sute
>> your taste. skoop them out or drain through a caulinder.  We like them
>> with a splash of vinegar, a bit of butter and diced raw onions on top.
