To preserve your turnips, be sure to wash and scrub them in cold water. Then wrap your turnips in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag. These can then be stored in your refrigerator crisper drawer for up to two weeks!

Fun Fact: If you ever have turnips that still have the greens, you're in luck and they can also be stored this way.
