A dented can, in 99.5% of cases is nothing more than a "dented can", but, perhaps understandably, many people will pass over a dented can. However, a bulge in a can - no matter how small, if it is a visible bulge - should never be purchasedor used.

Are home canned turnips that turned brown after canning ok to eat?

Canned foods discolor for a variety of reasons (exposure to exteme heat or cold, being in direct sunlight, spoilage, or improper food preparation in the processing). As it is not possible to know the reason for the discoloration I would discard the food. For the future refer to proper methods for processing foods at the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) website.
