• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the turnips and carrots, then chop them into evenly sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces) to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 2

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and cook the vegetables for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the turnips and carrots in a colander, allowing them to steam dry for a minute or two to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

Return the cooked vegetables to the pot, then add the butter and heavy cream.

Step 6

Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. Add salt and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.

Step 7
