Funny you mentioned mashed turnips. I read an article this morning about six old, traditional dishes that are rarely seen anymore. They said "Mashed Turnips" were one of the oldest dishes that date back to the original 13 colonies.
Glad you're keeping it alive..........

Hah ! I'm now proud to always be behind the times :ROFLMAO: !!!

Its older than that. The recipe is my german grandmother's from her mother and so on back to the farm; those ancestors were brewers, bakers and butchers way back then. Emigrated here around 1870. Two tips: never add salt to turnips unless you want to enhance the bitterness; and turnips don't raise blood sugar like potatoes or sweet potatoes so perfect for diabetics. Have to go warm the ham and red cabbage and boiled onions now !

Send me a link to that article when you have time ... no rush. Enjoy your Thanksgiving !!!
