These quick-pickled turnips are stained a beautiful golden yellow from the turmeric in all that tangy brine. The crisp root vegetable retains its mild spice, which gets added depth from floral and fruity coriander seeds and peppercorns. Throw the pickles on a sandwich or in a salad for extra crunch and a load of vibrant color.
