My CSA share of veggies had some Hakurei turnips, which were new to me, so I had to make something new. I had some yellow potatoes and tempeh, so I made a hearty meal using the turnips and their greens.

The result: Roasted Turnips and Potatoes with Tempeh Loaf and Sautéed Turnip Greens… trust me on this one.

I quartered the potatoes and turnips, tossed them in olive oil, sea salt, and pepper, and let them roast in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or so, until the potatoes were done. It couldn’t be more simple.

I made my delicious Tempeh Loaf, which is always an enjoyable main dish. Tempeh loaf is easy. I don’t shape it like a traditional meatloaf, as you can see from my pie plate in the photo, but I still call it tempeh loaf since it is replacing meatloaf on my table.

I use:

a package of tempeh
1 medium sized yellow onion
3-4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup ketchup
2 TB dijon mustard
2 TB Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
2 TB olive oil
2-3 slices of bread, crumbled
1/3 cup grated parmesan

First, using a food processor, grind up the tempeh and give the onions and garlic a very fine chop. Transfer this into a large bowl, and start adding the rest of the wet ingredients. Mix well, add the bread crumbs and parmesan, and mix well.

Spread this into a baking dish- I like the round pie shape, but a square or rectangle works just fine. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes until it is cooked through.

I like tempeh loaf with ketchup, so I spiced up some simple organic 365 brand ketchup with Savory Spice Shop’s Red Rocks Hickory Smoke Seasoning. As I’ve said before… everything is better when you add Savory Spice Shop’s spices into the mix!

Finally, I sauteéd the turnip greens in a little white wine and olive oil for just a few minutes until they turned a bright shade of green. I removed them from heat and added a little maple syrup and dijon mustard, as well as dehydrated shallots from… of course, Savory Spice Shop.

A sprinkle of sea salt and fresh ground pepper and you have yourself a meal.
