Sweet and Buttery Turnips recipe

6 servings

2 pounds turnips, peeled and cubed

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup half-and-half cream

1 cup brown sugar

1 pinch ground nutmeg

salt and pepper to taste

Place turnips into saucepan and fill with enough water to cover them.

Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain.

Add butter to the hot turnips and mash with a potato masher or whisk.

Once the butter has melted in, stir in the sour cream, half-and-half, brown sugar, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Mash to your desired consistency.

I always undermash for a chunkier outcome.

Cover and keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.
