mashed turnips with sage
I adopted this recipe from Trisha Yearwood of the Foodnetwork Channel. I've served this dish for the past 3 Thanksgivings and my family really enjoys the rough mashed rather than a smooth mash.

3While the water is heating to a boil peel & cube the TURNIPS & POTATO. Small chop 1/2 the onion.
-
