We surely did enjoy this combo but with just the butter, salt and pepper felt that it was missing that touch of something. I added a *very* light sprinkle of Splenda and that brightened it right up and filled in that blank flavor spot. I would make this again and I would suggest that if you have no problem with sugar to add just a bit of honey.

I scaled this back for 1 serve and it fed 3 of us as a side which we enjoyed as a nice change from mash potatoes. I didn't great them though, just cooked till tender and then drained and mashed with a little butter and seasoning. Thank you Dienia B. made for Almost 5 tag game.

I really enjoy carrots and Turnips together. I didn't grate them but cut them small and then did a few strokes of mashing them but not so much that they lost their identity. Thanks for posting an old favorite of mine

Dienia,This recipe really surprised me,I love to try "DIFFERENT" recipes,and you have to admit this was different,the sweetness of the carrots really complimented the turnips,and I have to admit I also added 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to this recipe.It was to die for. My husband and I both love turnips,and this was a great recipe.Thanks so much,Darlene
