Photo: Buttered Turnip Puree Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 large turnips, peeled and cut into even sized medium chunks
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 bunch fresh thyme
- 2 clove garlic, peeled and gently crushed with the side of a knife
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Add turnips, milk, thyme and garlic to a medium-sized sauce pot. Set over medium heat and place the lid over the pot so it is just covering. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until tender - the tip of a paring knife should go through without resistance.
Remove the thyme and remove 2 cups of the liquid. Drain and place turnips back into the same pan and blend using an immersion blender or place to a food processor. Add butter and about 1 cup of the milk cooking liquid and blend. Season with salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Add more of the milk if necessary.

My husband loves turnips ... a recipe from his childhood I have never been able to replicate until Tyler's recipe ... I on the other hand hate them, the smell, texture ... yuck!
Until now, that is ... these are really delicious! Easy to make, mild flavor ... was a big hit for Thanksgiving!!

I always enjoy cooking with root vegetables. My husband loves turnips so I was hoping he would like his recipe and he raved about it. I will probably take this dish to the next holiday dinner invitation we receive. Good as always Tyler.

I love this recipe. I made it today and will make it again next weekend. I made the recipe exactly as written and it came out perfect. I love this as an alternative to mashed potatoes.
