You'll need 5 pounds of turnips .... that's roughly 10 depending on the size;
Wash turnips, trim off greens and 'roots'
Slice into pieces so you can get them in the food processor...
Shred to get 5 pounds ...
Mix together then add to bowl
2.5 cups white vinegar
2.5 cups sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup of water
mix well and serve cold ... it's ready to eat as soon as cold ... but gets better (softer, not as crisp) as it ages a bit.
The turnip kraut is indestructible; you can freeze and refreeze.
Makes about 15 eight ounce servings ...
(if you want the kraut to be white, peel the purple off the turnips)
