Sweet and Buttery Turnips

Ingredients

• 2 pounds turnips, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Place turnips into saucepan and fill with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Add butter to the hot turnips and mash with a potato masher or whisk. Once the butter has melted in, stir in the sour cream, half-and-half, brown sugar, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Mash to your desired consistency. I always undermash for a chunkier outcome. Cover and keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.
