MASHED PEPPERY TURNIPS

Mashed Peppery Turnips image

I created this recipe in an attempt to use up a great turnip harvest from our garden, and to lighten up one of our favorite dishes. By using turnips in place of potatoes, I made a low-carb side. Now we rarely serve plain mashed potatoes! -Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas
