So That's What a Turnip Tastes Like

In my mission to try more things from the farmer's market, I picked up turnips this week. I had to do a little research to figure out what to do and it turns out you can pretty much treat it like a potato or just eat it raw. I did try a bite raw, but with no salad greens available, I opted to cook all the turnips I picked up.

Mashed Turnip and Potatoes
3 turnips
4 medium potatoes
2 tblsp butter cut into chunks
1/4 cup half and half
4 pieces crispy bacon chopped
salt and pepper
Peel turnips. Cut turnips and potatoes into 1" chunks and place in medium saucepan. Cover with cold water. Add a generous amount of salt and bring to boil. Cook until potatoes and turnips fall off the fork. Drain and return to saucepan. Add butter, half and half, bacon, and pepper. Mash to desired tenderness.
