Apple Turnip Mashed Potatoes Recipes

CLASSIC TURNIP AND APPLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F; butter a casserole dish (or spray with Pam) and set aside.
• Peel and dice turnip (this can be a tough job, as turnips are very dense) and place in a large pot.
• Cover with cold, lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
• Boil until turnip is tender (this takes longer than potatoes, usually), then drain and return to the pot.
• Mash turnip with the 1 tbsp butter and cream; stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar and the cinnamon; set aside.
• Peel apples, core, and slice.
• In prepared casserole dish, layer 1/3 of the turnip, then half the sliced apples, then 1/3 of the turnip, then the remaining apples, then the remaining turnip; smooth top.
• At this point, you could cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for several hours; don't put topping on until you're ready to pop this into the oven.
• When ready to bake, combine topping ingredients in a small bowl until they are crumbly; sprinkle over top of turnip.
• Bake in preheated oven for one hour; serve.

MASHED TURNIPS WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Place the turnips in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and puree in a food processor. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until they turn golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the shallots with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Set a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the cream and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and bring to a simmer. Briskly stir in the turnips. Season to taste with salt, pepper and the nutmeg. Divide the puree among 8 serving plates. Garnish liberally with the shallots and lightly with parsley. Serve immediately.

NANA'S MASHED TURNIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place turnip and potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook 25 to 30 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat, and drain.
• Mix milk, 2 tablespoons butter, and sugar with the turnip and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Mash until slightly lumpy.
• Transfer turnip mixture to a small baking dish. Dot with remaining butter. Cover loosely, and bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove cover, and continue baking about 8 minutes, until lightly browned.

TURNIP MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice potatoes and turnips 1/4-inch thick. Cook in boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain.
• Whip cooked potatoes and turnips with electric mixer, mixing until moderately smooth (don't overbeat them; a few lumps are nice).
• Add hot cream, butter and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Whip again until blended.
• Adjust thickness by adding more cream, if desired.
