I boil the turnips and the greens along with fatback or a ham
hock - not very unusual.

I went to the SOAR recipe archive and they had many unusual
recipes for turnips (http://soar.berkeley.edu/recipes/)

Here's one for making imitation anchovies using turnips (?!?!?):

               NICOMEDES' ANCHOVY

--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       md           Turnip
                        Salt
                        Poppy seed
   1       tb           Olive oil

     1) Trim and peel the turnip, then slice it into
  thin pieces which are shaped like anchovy filets.
  Drop the pieces into rapidly boiling water and boil
  for 3-5 minutes, until they are tender but not too
  soft. Drain.
  
     2) Arrange the turnip pieces neatly on a plate.
  Pour the oil over them, making sure all the surfaces
  of the turnips are covered.
  
     3) Salt the turnips liberally, then sprinkle on the
  poppy seeds carefully, covering all the exposed
  surfaces, but keeping the poppy seeds on the
  "anchovies" only. 

I think adding Fish Sauce would make this idea complete.

Good luck with your quest!
