Turnips are in season and they're definitely a popular winter veggie. The turnip is an excellent potato substitute since you can easily make a mash, or purée out of them. Although we don’t typically think about using this root vegetable, the flavor they bring to the table is delicioso and a creamy turnip mash goes well with the traditional turkey dinner, pork roast or grilled fish. I invite you to try this recipe and introduce your family to new ingredients, and new sabores.
