Maggie Mahoneys Turnips Food

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.
