Steps:

  • Combine the turnips, milk, thyme and garlic in a medium saucepan. Set over medium heat and partially cover the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until the turnips are tender-the tip of a paring knife should go through without resistance.

MASHED TURNIPS WITH NUTMEG

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     High Fiber     Turnip     Fall     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 pounds turnips, peeled, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Toss turnips and butter in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle turnips with salt and pepper. Cover dish with foil. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and mash coarsely. Stir in nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips: Look for turnips that are small and firm, with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid turnips that are large, soft, or have cracks or bruises.
  • Peel the turnips thinly: Use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove just the outer layer of skin from the turnips. This will help to preserve the turnips' nutrients and flavor.
  • Cook the turnips until they are tender: You can boil, steam, or roast the turnips until they are soft enough to puree. Boiling is the quickest method, but roasting will give the turnips a more caramelized flavor.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the turnips: Once the turnips are cooked, transfer them to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. You can add a little bit of milk or cream to help the puree achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Season the puree to taste: Add salt, pepper, nutmeg, and orange zest to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme or rosemary.

Conclusion:

Turnip puree is a versatile and delicious dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The orange and nutmeg add a sweet and savory flavor to the puree, making it a perfect accompaniment to roasted meats or grilled fish. Whether you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish or a comforting main course, turnip puree is a great option.
