Swap out potatoes for turnips and lower both the calories and the carbs without compromising on taste! Herbed Mashed Turnip is rustic and simple, but the flavour suggests otherwise! Ground nutmeg and fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage will have you making this side over and over again!

Ingredients

3-4 turnips, peeled and diced into 1 inch pieces (about 4 cups)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup sour cream, full fat (optional)

Instructions

Begin by adding the turnip to a pot. Add just enough water water to cover. Season with salt and over medium-high heat, cook until fork tender. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
Once cooked, drain the turnip well.
Return the turnip to the pot and add the salt, ground black pepper, ground nutmeg, and butter.
Using a masher, mash the turnip until it has the consistency of mashed potatoes.
Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and stir into the turnip. (If you prefer a creamier mashed turnip, go ahead and add the sour cream now. It is completely optional.)
Serve and enjoy!
