ELLEN'S EASY BOILED TURNIPS image

I have always loved turnips--not turnip greens--just plain ol' boiled turnips with salt and pepper and plenty of butter. They don't even need a recipe, really. I am one of the few people I know who likes them, however. And that's okay. More for me!

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 medium turnips
1 tsp salt
1 pinch pepper
1 Tbsp butter
water

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and slice the turnips. Place them into a large saucepan and half-fill with water; add salt.
  • 2. On medium-high heat, bring turnips to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer about 30 minutes or until tender. Drain into a colander and place back in saucepan.
  • 3. Partially mash with potato masher, adding butter as you mash. Turnips will be lumpy but slightly mashed. Add salt and pepper as desired.
  • 4. May add toppings of your choice, such as bacon bits, garlic, or shredded cheese
