CLASSIC TURNIP AND APPLE CASSEROLE
I first had this recipe at my husband's aunt's home back in 1979; got the recipe from her and have been making it to serve with turkey dinner ever since. I love the apples and turnip together! If you want to make it ahead of time, you can; just make it up to the layering stage then cover tightly and refrigerate. Put topping on, though, just before it goes into the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F; butter a casserole dish (or spray with Pam) and set aside.
- Peel and dice turnip (this can be a tough job, as turnips are very dense) and place in a large pot.
- Cover with cold, lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
- Boil until turnip is tender (this takes longer than potatoes, usually), then drain and return to the pot.
- Mash turnip with the 1 tbsp butter and cream; stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar and the cinnamon; set aside.
- Peel apples, core, and slice.
- In prepared casserole dish, layer 1/3 of the turnip, then half the sliced apples, then 1/3 of the turnip, then the remaining apples, then the remaining turnip; smooth top.
- At this point, you could cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for several hours; don't put topping on until you're ready to pop this into the oven.
- When ready to bake, combine topping ingredients in a small bowl until they are crumbly; sprinkle over top of turnip.
- Bake in preheated oven for one hour; serve.

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.
MASHED PEPPERY TURNIPS
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

Steps:
- Cut away the greens from the turnips. Peel the turnips and quarter if they're large; cut in half if they're small. Stem the greens and wash in 2 changes of water. Discard the stems.
- Combine the turnips and potatoes in a steamer set above 2 inches of boiling water. Steam until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the steamer and transfer to a bowl. Cover the bowl tightly and leave for 5 to 10 minutes so that the vegetables continue to steam and dry out.
- Fill the bottom of the steamer with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste and add the greens. Blanch for 2 to 4 minutes, until tender. Transfer to a bowl of cold water using a slotted spoon or skimmer, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop fine. Drain the water from the saucepan, rinse and dry.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in the saucepan and add the leek and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until leeks are tender and translucent but not colored. Add the milk to the saucepan, bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
- Using a potato masher, a fork or a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, mash the potatoes and turnips while still hot. Add the turnip greens and combine well. Beat in the hot milk and the additional tablespoon of olive oil if desired, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot, right away, or transfer to a buttered or oiled baking dish and heat through in a low oven when ready to serve.

Tips: Achieving Perfect Apple-Turnip Mashed Potatoes
- Select the Right Potatoes: Opt for Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for a smooth and creamy texture.
- Boil the Potatoes Properly: Ensure the potatoes are fully submerged in boiling water and cook until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain Potatoes Thoroughly: Drain the potatoes well to remove excess water, preventing the mashed potatoes from becoming watery.
- Roast the Turnips: Roasting the turnips intensifies their flavor and adds a slightly caramelized sweetness to the dish.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or thyme for an extra layer of flavor and aroma.
- Butter and Milk: Use high-quality unsalted butter and whole milk for a rich and creamy texture.
- Mash Gradually: Mash the potatoes and turnips gradually, allowing them to fully incorporate the butter, milk, and seasonings.
- Season to Taste: Adjust the salt, pepper, and garlic powder according to your preference.
- Garnish Elegantly: Top the mashed potatoes with chopped parsley, chives, or a sprinkle of paprika for a visually appealing presentation.
