Peas and Turnips with Bacon and Dill Butter

Ingredients
6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
4 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
12 ounces center-cut bacon, chopped
1 ¹⁄₄ pounds turnips, peeled and cut into ¹⁄₂-inch cubes
16 ounces frozen peas, thawed

Instructions
1. Mix 6 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons dill in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Sauté bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels leaving fat in pan.  

3. Increase heat to medium-high.  Add turnips to bacon fat and sauté until tender and golden, about 10-15 minutes. Drain turnips and return to skillet, leaving heat at medium-high.  Add peas and dill butter and stir until peas are heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir in bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.

This recipe is from epicurious.com, I found it while trying to find a new way to use the turnips in my CSA box.  Oh my gosh, it was delicious.  The flavor of the dill went extremely well with the turnips and the bacon was a great component as well.  I believe that, next time, I’d make this with only 4 tablespoons of butter instead of the 6, because it was a bit buttery in the end.  The recipe called for twice as many peas, but we all thought it was better with 16 ounces instead of 32.  Turnips have a lovely flavor and this dish was extremely simple.
