It won't hurt anything, but use pickling salt next time and don't use the water from boiling the turnips to fill the jars. Have another pan of clean water boiling to fill the jars. Same with canning potatoes. There will be a lot of starch in the water from boiling them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053406682567141532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-36940528382909464782015-11-17T12:39:11.308-06:002015-11-17T12:39:11.308-06:00If the turnips turn beige is that a concern?

I would open a jar and see if it smells delicious or "off". I have had liquid go milky on my canned potatoes, they are safe and delicious (and no "bugs" to make us sick) and I blame the milky brine on starch in the potatoes. Could be the same with your turnips.
