Make Turnips Yummy!

So, we've been getting turnips for weeks through our Dry Dock CSA...  And, so far, I've pretty much just put them over salads and slaws and not really paid much attention to them.  Tonight I made them into Mashed Turnips, like you would make mashed potatoes.  And, they were GREAT!  No carbs, and you don't miss the potato at all.  The consistency is great!

Mashed Turnips

Ingredients
8 small-to-medium turnips, peeled and quartered
2 leaves flat leaf Italian parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp skim milk
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tsp minced garlic
salt & pepper to taste

Directions
Boil some water in a medium pot.  Add quartered & peeled turnips to the water and boil for 35-45 minutes.  Remove and drain.  Move the turnips to a blender, and add all other ingredients to the blender.  You can vary the amount of milk, butter, garlic, salt & pepper to fit your tastes.  Blend thoroughly in the blender and put back into the pot.  Turn the heat to medium and stir frequently until the liquid from the turnips reduces to the consistency of mashed potatoes.  YUM!  Serves 2.  No carbs!

(Also no picture.  I'll fix this when I make them again!  That's right - I will make this again!!!!)
