Tips for a Perfect Mashed Peppery Turnip Dish

- **Choose the Right Turnips**: Choose small, tender turnips that are about 2 inches in diameter. Larger turnips can be woody and bitter. - **Peel and Dice the Turnips**: Peel the turnips and cut them into 1-inch cubes. This will help them cook evenly. - **Boil the Turnips**: Place the turnips in a large pot of boiling water and cook until they are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the turnips and reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid. - **Mash the Turnips**: Mash the turnips with a potato masher or an immersion blender until smooth. Add the reserved cooking liquid, butter, salt, and pepper to taste. - **Add Flavorings**: For a more flavorful dish, add some chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche.
