Pureéd Parsnips and Turnips


Prep Time

Prep Notes

This makes a wonderful low carb substitute for traditional mashed potatoes!

Did you know that parsnips were sometimes used as a sweetener before the arrival of cane sugar? This recipe can also be made subbing the turnips for rutabagas, or mix in a little of all three. The turnips make a sweeter puree.
