Perfect! Some may find this bland but it is just how I like it. Turnips are good with just milk and butter - yum!!

very good recipe, but like others, i don't like the excess liquid so i steam my cut up turnip. this makes a huge difference as to how much excess liquid there is.

Simple and tasty! Like other reviewers, I added just enough milk to reach our favorite consistency. Great mashed potato alternative for my family. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Turnips are a low-carb replacement for potatoes and this recipe is so easy that even a mentally challenged chimp like me can follow it. Try adding a couple of chicken bouillion cubes to the boil water for some extra flavor. Mmmmmm!

I grew up with similar recipe for holidays. I think the only reason we usually don't make them throughout the year is because those rutabagas are hard to cut and peel;) We add a bit of brown sugar and sometimes use sour cream in lieu of milk/cream. We mix the leftover turnips with leftover mashed which makes for a great taste sensation.

These were quite tasty. Like other posters, I added butter as if making mashed potatoes, and ended up using just a "splurt" of half and half. Turnips, by nature, have a very high water content, and so I see why others felt they were runny. I mashed them in the pot, with the butter and tiny amount of cream, and then turned the burner back up to medium to reduce the excess liquid before serving. That worked out quite well!

Substituted almond milk and olive oil for the milk and butter. Threw in some parsley and rosemary and had a wonderful dish!

I had never made turnip before, but my Dad specifically asked me for turnip on Thanksgiving, so I tried this recipe. It was simple and tasted great. I've never been a turnip fan before, but I will definitely make these again. I made this ahead of time because when they cook, turnips smell a bit icky. I just heated it in the microwave when it was time for dinner, and that worked out great, and I had no lingering turnip odor in my kitchen when guests arrived! Thanks for the great recipe, one of the only plain turnip recipes on this site.
