Steps:
- In a saucepan, heat the oil with three tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat until it begins to bubble. Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots, and cook them until they are a rich golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir the shallots occasionally while they are cooking to make sure they brown evenly.
- Remove the shallots from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Once the shallots have dried and crisped, in about 15 minutes, they can be stored in a cool place, covered, for several days. Serve the shallots at room temperature.
- Peel the turnips to remove their waxy skins and cut them into generous one-inch chunks. Put them in a saucepan with water to cover and one teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer covered, until the turnips are easily pierced by a paring knife, about 35 minutes.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and the remaining six tablespoons of butter over low heat until the butter has melted and the milk just begins to simmer.
- Drain the turnips and puree (in several batches, if necessary) in a food processor. With the motor running, add the melted butter and milk in a steady stream. The turnips should be very smooth.
- Return the turnip puree to the saucepan, season with one teaspoon salt and the pepper and reheat, stirring, over medium flame. Serve piping hot, sprinkle generously with crispy shallots.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put turnips, shallots, and oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper; toss. Spread in a single layer. Roast until tender and golden brown, about 35 minutes.
- Put vinegar, bay leaves, and thyme in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer; cook until reduced by about half, about 10 minutes. Add sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir to dissolve. Add butter, and cook over medium heat until reduced to a syrupy glaze, about 10 minutes. Discard thyme. Pour over roasted vegetables; toss to coat. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right turnips: Look for turnips that are small and firm, with smooth skin and no signs of bruising or blemishes.
- Peel and cube the turnips evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a vegetable steamer or colander to steam the turnips: This will help them retain their nutrients and flavor.
- Cook the turnips until they are tender but still hold their shape: Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Season the turnips with salt, pepper, and butter: This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Top the turnips with crispy shallots for a flavorful garnish: The shallots can be made by thinly slicing them and frying them in oil until they are golden brown.
