Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 1.5 pounds total) turnips
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the turnips and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the turnip cubes into a medium-sized pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the turnips simmer for about 15-18 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Drain the turnips and return them to the pot. Allow any remaining water to evaporate for a minute or two over low heat.
Step 5
Add the butter to the pot of turnips and mash the turnips using a potato masher or a fork until mostly smooth. If you prefer a perfectly smooth texture, use an immersion blender or transfer to a food processor.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the turnips are creamy and fully combined with the other ingredients.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.
Step 8
Transfer the Honey Creamed Turnips to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your beautifully creamy and flavorful turnip dish!
