  • This old Russian recipe only looks plain — it's actually delicious, so give it a try! What I love most is that you can stuff the turnips not just with meat, but with vegetables or even cooked semolina. Start with the filling: run the meat through a grinder twice. Heat the vegetable oil over high heat, finely chop the onion, and fry until golden, about 5 minutes. Crack the egg into the ground meat, add the soaked bread, softened butter, and fried onion, and mix everything thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. The filling should be light and smooth. Set it aside. Wash the turnips, trim off the greens, and boil until half-tender, then let them cool and cut off the tops. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the centers and fill each turnip with the meat mixture. Cap each one with its cut-off top and tie it closed with kitchen string. Set them in a skillet, cover, add a little water, and simmer until done, about 40 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle the turnips with grated cheese.
