Most people recommend blanching them and then cutting into smaller pieces before freezing. But some gardeners recommend leaving them in the ground through the winter, which would result in frozen turnips so maybe it could work out. But you will have to thaw it and then cut it into pieces so it might be better to do that work at the start so you can add frozen pieces directly to whatever stew or soup you are making.

Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Clean, dice, blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, immediately place in an ice bath to stop cooking process, drain, lay out on a towel, pat dry, place in freezer bags with as much air removed as possible, place in freezer and there you have it ;-)

Dice and water blanch for 2 to 3 minutes. Be sure to give an immediate ice water bath after the blanching to stop the cooking process. Drain, pat dry and remove as much air from the freezer bag as possible to reduce freezer burn.

Here's a guide I submitted last week that gives instructions and blanching time for assorted vegetables including turnips. If you also want to freeze the turnip greens the chart shows greens too.

Yes. Peel, cube, blanche for 2 minutes, cool in an ice bath, drain and allow to dry on a towel before placing in freezer storage containers.

I recently harvested my turnips and didn't have time to prepare them for freezing. I had left them in the garage for a few days. When I started to prepare them, it looked as if they had started to freeze. Is it still safe to blanch and freeze them?
