I volunteer to be stumped.

But, not because I can't think of what to do with turnips and broccoli rabe, but just because I can't think of what to do first!! They are both some of my favorite ingredients. I guess I would use them in a shepherd's pie, for starters. Brown the ground lamb with onions and garlic in olive oil in a large skillet and add the cut up turnips and broccoli rabe. When they have wilted and browned at the edges, add a dash of broth or wine, cover them with a layer of smashed potatoes, and add some grated parmesan cheese over the top. Cover with a lid and simmer until the entire dish is hot and bubbly. A wonderful comfort food, and very appropriate for the holidays, too!!

That sounds delicious, Lee!
I've had shepherd's pie in England, and there it's an oven dish. But your way sounds just as good.

Depending on one's ethnic traditions, Americans either stuff themselves on Christmas Eve, or on Christmas Day. Even though I am African-American, I enjoy the Italian tradition of the Feast of the Seven Fishes. On Christmas Eve, Italians have a meal that is made of seafood dishes. There's squid, shrimp, clams, mussels, octopus, scallops, and cod. But you can make any seafood you want.
This year, I made a cioppino with scallops, shrimp, squid, and mussels in a white wine cream sauce, served over rotini.
