Holiday Feast: Turnips

This one my wife did. When I was growing up, I would eat almost anything except for sweet potatoes and turnips. Seeing that I would only turn away from those two, my parent's didn't really push me to eat them. I now have grown to appreciate both, but as I was busy with many other items, my wife prepared them.

Peel the turnip (we used a yellow turnip). Cube. Put in water and bring to a boil and cook until softened, about 20 minutes.

In the meantime, dice an onion and saute until soft and clear.

Mash the turnip. Mix in the onion along with a little butter. Serve.
