  • 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 hot turnips and mash with a potato masher or whisk. Once butter has melted in, stir in 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.
