We used a pear to sweeten the strong flavor of
turnips, then added some roasted garlic for a robust
alternative to mashed potatoes.
Steam turnips over boiling water until fork tender,
about 15 minutes. Drain turnips and place in a food
processor or blender along with pear, garlic, and
margarine. Process until smooth, adding skim milk as
needed. Season with salt and pepper.
Makes 8 servings.
