New England Mashed Turnips Recipes

Steps:

• peel turnips with a peeler & cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
• fill a medium-size pot with water & bring to a boil.
• add 1/2 teaspoon salt & turnip cubes & bring to a boil again.
• turn the heat low,cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes or until the turnips are soft.
• drain the turnips into a colander in the sink.
• put the turnips back into the pot & warm on low heat for a minute ito dry off moisture.
• add butter,half-and-half & rest of the salt & pepper.
• stir with a spoon while the butter is melting.
• mash with a potato masher until soft & fluffy.

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.

Steps:

• Add the turnips and potatoes to a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until soft and tender, about 20 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, add the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted and foamy, add the shallots and sage and saute until the shallot is tender, the sage is fragrant and the butter begins to brown. Season with salt and pepper. Add the milk and bring to a simmer. (This will infuse the milk with the sage flavor.)
• Drain the turnips and potatoes in a colander in the sink. Add the turnips and potatoes back to the pot they were cooked in. Add the hot milk and roughly mash the vegetables. If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender and puree until smooth and silky. Taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper.

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.

Steps:

• Place the turnips and the garlic in a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
• Add water to fill about halfway, cover, and place over medium-high heat.
• Bring to a boil, turn down the burner, and simmer until quite soft (about 15 minutes).
• Drain the turnips and garlic very well.
• Using a potato masher, mash the turnips and garlic together.
• Stir in the butter, horseradish, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and mix well.
• Just before serving, stir in the chives.
• Each serving has 10 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber, for a total of 8 grams of usable carbs and 2 grams of protein.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile wash your veggies and chop them into large cubes.
• Add the veggies to the boiling water and cook for about 20 minutes. When they are tender, drain them, return them to the pot, and mash them with whatever mashing utensil you have on hand.

• Set a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the cream and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and bring to a simmer. Briskly stir in the turnips. Season to taste with salt, pepper and the nutmeg. Divide the puree among 8 serving plates. Garnish liberally with the shallots and lightly with parsley. Serve immediately.
