We used a pear to sweeten the strong flavor of turnips, then added
some roasted garlic for a robust alternative to mashed potatoes. Steam
turnips over boiling water until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain
turnips and place in a food processor or blender along with pear,
garlic, and margarine. Process until smooth, adding skim milk as
needed. Season with salt and pepper. Makes 8 servings. PER SERVING:
