Aunt Rocky’s Mashed Turnips With Cheese & Bacon

This recipe makes a single serving. Multiply as needed.

Peel and cube turnip (about 1/2-inch cubes). Put in small pot, cover with water and salt lightly. Bring to full boil, then reduce heat to a low boil. Cook until turnips are fork tender, about 10 minutes.

While turnips are cooking, measure out cheese and microwave bacon crumbles to get them warm and crispy (about 15 seconds).

Drain turnips well in a sieve. Wipe put pan with paper towel, and return turnips to pan. Add butter, and garlic powder. Mash with a hand masher until smooth.

Salt and pepper to taste, and scoop onto plate. Top with cheddar and bacon crumbles. Garnish with chives or green onions, if using. Serve.
