Mashed Garlic Turnips Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC MASHED TURNIPS RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Peel off outer layers of your head of garlic and slice the entire head in half lengthwise. 3. Place the garlic halves cut side up on top of a sheet of aluminum foil. Pour 1 tbsp olive oil across the cloves and completely wrap the foil around the garlic. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes--or until fragrant. 4. While the garlic is roasting, place quartered turnips into a pot and cover with water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Let turnips boil until fork tender, about 25 minutes. 5. Remove turnips from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer to a food processor or blender. Add the roasted garlic and process until smooth. With the mash blending, pour in olive oil and season with salt and crushed black pepper to taste. 6. Serve hot and enjoy!

GARLIC-TURNIP MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes, turnips, parsnip, and garlic in a medium saucepan; add enough half-and-half to cover. Place over medium high heat and cook until vegetables are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid.
• Return vegetables to saucepan and add egg, butter, and 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth, adding more cooking liquid as necessary. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

PARMESAN GARLIC MASHED TURNIPS

Steps:

• 1. use a vegetable peeler and remove the skins from the turnips, dice and place in a large pot. (some turnips come with a waxy coating that will come off when peeled).
• 2. place the potato in with turnips (do not peel). this will get rid of the bitter taste of the turnips while they are cooking.
• 3. cover the turnips with cool water and place on the stove. add salt and bring to a boil. reduce heat to medium and cover. cook for about 15 minutes or until turnips are tender when pierced with a fork.
• 4. while the turnips are cooking, drain and remove potato. pour turnips back into pot and mash with potato masher. stir in the garlic milk mixture a little at a time, then stirring in remaining butter.
• 5. you may not need all of the milk. gently stir and add in the parmesan. serve warm.

CLASSIC MASHED TURNIPS

Steps:

• Peel and cut turnip like you would for mashed potatoes.
• Put in pot of water until covered and your sugar. Turnips can be very bitter so the sugar takes the bitter out. Cook until fork tender. Drain. Mash like you would potatoes. Use gravy instead of milk or whatever you mash your taters with. Enjoy!
