Well woodstock, as with a lot of the recipes something got left out. I have made my grandmother's recipe for Cock a Leekie chicken many times and the turnip is added with the other vegies. Enjoy!

what happened to the turnip in this recipe?? I see you boil the turnip trimmings, but what do you do with the trimmed turnip?? you say to add sliced leeks, carrot and chicken but nothing about the turnip. Kindly advise. Thanks
