I wash, separate, and refrigerate the turnips the night before. To separate; is I put the roots in a plastic bag, stems in a separate bag, and finally the green leaves in another bag. I cook fresh turnips in layers. First the stems, then the greens adding the roots last. The stems are the longest cook time. When you wash the turnips you might want to consider wearing cooking gloves, for the greens have thorns, on the backside of the leaves.
