Patty's Creamy Mashed Turnips

Patty's Creamy Mashed Turnips are smooth, buttery, and subtly sweet with a gentle peppery note that sets them apart from potatoes. The milk and butter create a plush texture that pairs beautifully with roasted meats or a holiday spread. Serve this comforting side at family dinners, festive gatherings, or anytime you want a lighter, cozy mash.
