Throughout my childhood, my mother and my Aunt Aurelie always served mashed turnips at our Christmas and Thanksgiving. I loved their dish.  So, this year, I decided to add it to our Christmas 2013 dinner.

I chose to cook the turnips with the purple top instead of the rutabaga type of turnip which my mother and aunt always used. The dish was very tasty. I will absolutely serve this dish again.
