Can turnips be overcooked?

[Popsickle]

Is it possible to overcook turnips? I want to make sure I'm getting the texture just right. How do you know when turnips are perfectly cooked? I could use some guidance to avoid turning them into mush!

Yes, it's possible to overcook turnips, which can make them mushy. To get the perfect texture, cook them until they're tender but still slightly firm when pierced with a fork. Aim for that sweet spot where they're soft enough to enjoy but not falling apart!

I think overcooked turnips might lose some of their flavor and become overly soft. It’s good to test them with a fork to make sure they’re just right.
