You can cook and mash turnips the same way you would mashed potatoes. To bulk them up, try cooking them with cauliflower or potatoes in any ratio you like.
Ingredients
5 medium turnips
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1.5 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup milk, cream, sour cream, or Greek yogurt (or a combination)
Note: Adjust amounts to taste, and if mashing with another vegetable, increase quantities accordingly.
Optional add-ins:
Cheese
Favorite seasoning blends
Fresh herbs
Sautéed turnip greens stirred in with butter
Instructions
Quarter the turnips.
Bring them to a boil in salted water with the garlic cloves.
Reduce heat and simmer until fork-tender.
Drain well and transfer turnips (and garlic) to a bowl or stand mixer.
Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
Add butter and a splash of milk, cream, or a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream. Start with a little, then adjust to taste.
Mash and mix using a potato masher or a fork.
Optional: Use a food processor for a smoother mash, but avoid overmixing if using potatoes, as it can become glutinous and gooey.
Stir in any optional add-ins like cheese, herbs, seasoning blends, or sautéed turnip greens.
