Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

  1. 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.
