My mom liked it a lot that she's going to take some to work. I thought it was a little bland, but the salt and pepper gave it more flavor. It tastes like cabbage, with a little sweet flavor to it, maybe from the milk. It reminds me of porridge because of the texture and it's image.

I have a recipe that is very similar to this one, but I add a pinch of sugar (maybe 1/4 teaspoon) to the pot of turnip, because turnips can be bitter.

I don't own a ricer or masher, so I used a fork - big mistake. The turnips were stringy. I don't know what happened or if turnips normally taste like this, but they were very sweet too. I will not be making this one again.

This was very bland to me and had a weird consistency. I had a lot of turnips given to me and decided to try this recipe. I ended up throwing the whole thing out because it tasted terrible...sorry..YUCK.

i used small turnips--boiled them for about an hour. i then added about 3 tbsp good butter (plugra), some salt, and a squirt of milk--no more than a 1/4 cup. i think you need to base the milk added to what it looks like it needs. turned out fantastic!!!

My husband like them, I didn't care too much for them. One tip, they did turn out runny, so I thickened them with some mashed potato flakes..it worked out great!

I love turnips. Got lots of compliments on these. I used 1 enormous turnip, it made enough for at least 10 people. I had to adjust the milk and butter to taste. After boiling and draining I returned them to the pot to cook out the remaining/excess water so mine weren't soupy/soggy at all. Delish!

This recipe is as good as a mashed turnip recipe can get! Perfect proportions of the ingredients for delicious mashed turnips.

I made these for my husband for Thanksgiving! He loves turnip. I substituted the milk for cream and only used 1/4 cup. They were wonderful. Some previous reviews commented on how runny the turnip was, try reducing the milk.

Very yummy. I use a little more butter than the recipe calls for.

Only so-so for us. But definitely worth a try--especially if you love turnips!

I agree with another reviewer who had trouble with the turnips. I am new to boiling turnips and mine turned out extremely wet. I wasted a lot of time trying to get some of the excess water out! Perhaps turnips need to be boiled a lot less than potatoes?

turned out kind of watery, and basically tasted like mashed turnips (no spice or other interesting taste to help it out). Kind of dull.

This recipe was quite tasty - we all enjoyed it. We had turkey gravy on it like mashed potatoes, and did that ever taste good together! I used more butter than the recipe called for, and less milk - only adding enough to get the consistency I wanted, as turnip size varies considerably.

I tried this recipe with some hesitation (but I had to use this giant turnip and had no idea what to do with it). I was pleasantly surprised -- I found Patty's mashed turnips more savory than plain mashed potatoes. I actually microwaved the turnip in a little water until it was soft (about 7 min.), then drained it. I also used a butter substitute (not a purist here) and it still turned out great.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but every time I make this recipe, it comes out so watery and thin! I have tried and tried to squeeze all of the water out of the cooked turnips but it still just turns into a gloopy mess. I think I'll just stick to pan frying turnips.
