Add additional low carb milk if needed. Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Be sure to boil the turnips until they are tender enough to mash. The pieces should be about the same size so they reach that point at the same time.
The process for making a turnip mash is almost identical to making mashed potatoes. You simply peel and slice the turnips and boil them until tender (photo 1). Then, it’s mashed with a little low carb milk and butter flavored fat (photos 2-4). The mashing can be done with a fork, a potato masher, an electric mixer, or a food processor.
Place turnip pieces into one pot of boiling water for 20 minutes. In the other pot of water, hardboil 2 eggs for 12 minutes. Remove eggs from water, place in cool water or ice bath. Strain turnips and rinse with cool water to stop them from overcooking.
