After my husband and mother both told me that they weren’t interested in eating turnips, I googled “how to make turnips taste good” and came up with this simple recipe that they then devoured and asked for seconds:
1 large bag of carrots (approx 8 carrots) peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
2 to 3 medium turnips peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
Boil water. Add a little salt and then boil the carrots and turnips until tender. Drain. Mash carrots and turnips together (don’t use a mixer — these are supposed to be chunky, not creamy). Add 1/2 stick of butter and salt and peeper.
Enjoy.
You could probably cut down on the butter. The recipe I originally saw called for a whole stick of butter and I cut it in half.

Mashed carrots and turnips have been a tradition in our family since, well, forever. Sometimes we leave them chunky and sometimes we add a little mashed potatoes to make them creamy – delicious. You can also add a little nutmeg or cinnamon to change the flavor a bit.
