Ingredients
- 4 medium Turnips
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing and peeling the turnips. Cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the turnip cubes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the turnips simmer for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
While the turnips are cooking, in a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Drain the cooked turnips and return them to the pot.
Step 6
Add the unsalted butter, sautéed garlic with olive oil, and the low-sodium broth to the pot with turnips.
Step 7
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the turnips until they reach your desired level of creaminess. Add black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Stir in the freshly chopped chives, saving a little to garnish on top if desired.
Step 9
Serve the creamy mashed turnips warm, garnishing with remaining chives if desired.
