directions

  • Peel and chop turnips into 1/2" dice, (uniform pieces cook more evenly).
  • Place into steamer with at least 1" water underneath.
  • Put lid on steamer and steam for 20 minutes (or more) once water comes to a boil. Turnips are done when they pierce easily with a knife.
  • Drain water and remove steamer from pan, keeping turnips in hot pan. You may need to heat the pan to remove any residual water from turnips.
  • Add butter and salt to taste and mash coarsely. The more butter, the better --
  • Serve hot.

  1. Yumm!! I love turnips, especially with butter, you can't go wrong!! I learned a long time ago to peel turnips because their skin is very bitter. It is one of the vegetables where the skin really doesn't taste good (even though it is such a pretty color purple!!!) I steamed a few carrots along with my turnips for some color. Easy and delicious, thanks!!
