TURNIP MASH
Steps:
- Peel and roughly chop 3 pounds turnips. Place in a pot and cover with equal parts milk and water (about 2 1/2 cups each); add a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until soft, 20 to 25 minutes; drain. Puree with 1/4 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and top with crumbled cooked bacon.
- Use a food processor or immersion blender to puree these veggies-they're too fibrous for a potato masher.
MASHED YELLOW TURNIPS WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS
Steps:
- Heat the oil and unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it reaches 220 degrees F. Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots, and cook until they are a rich golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. The temperature should stay below 260 degrees F. Stir the shallots occasionally to make sure they brown evenly. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain well, and spread out to cool on paper towels. Once they have dried and crisped, they can be stored at room temperature, covered, for several days.
- Peel the turnips to remove the waxy skins and cut them into generous 1-inch chunks. Place them in a saucepan with water to cover and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, until easily pierced by a paring knife, about 35 minutes. Drain.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and salted butter over low heat until the butter has melted and the milk just begins to simmer.
- Puree the turnips in several batches in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. With the motor running, add the melted butter and milk in a steady stream. The turnips should be smooth.
- Return the puree to the saucepan, season with 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper, and reheat, stirring, over medium heat. Serve piping hot, sprinkled generously with crispy shallots.
CLASSIC MASHED TURNIPS
First, you need to know what is a turnip. It is dark yellow and dark purple waxy vegetable. A rutabaga is a white and bright purple thing. Second this is a classic. I like to taste my food for what it is. I don't want to taste 20 other things.

Steps:
- Peel and cut turnip like you would for mashed potatoes.
- Put in pot of water until covered and your sugar. Turnips can be very bitter so the sugar takes the bitter out. Cook until fork tender. Drain. Mash like you would potatoes. Use gravy instead of milk or whatever you mash your taters with. Enjoy!
