Never prepared or eaten turnips like this before. The turnips were prepared and served just as mashed potatoes would. I used a couple of red potatoes to add a bit of starch, per the recipe I followed, but I'd likely use russet the next time around. The taste was great but they were just a bit too soft and watery for my liking.

They were used as a base for some lingonberry braised authentic German bratwursts. I've always thought the scandinavians were a bit loopy with combining meat with a jam. They're loopy for other reasons but I at least get the lingonberry obsession now.

Meat with jam is amazing - we like to do a fresh homemade cranberry compote or jam with ham, turkey, brie, just about anything. We also do blackberry with sausages as well.

Mashed turnips, man that is some good stuff right there. Might you try mashed rutabaga as well - nothing like it

I don't think I've ever had homemade cranberry jam with any sort of meat. Growing up I've only ever really seen the glob of garbage that comes out of a can.

Saw the rutabaga there by the turnips and thought about it for a second. I'll give that a go next time I decide to make some mash. Thanks for the tip. I used to eat turnips whole when I was a kid but I can't say I've ever had rutabaga prepared in any way.

it's a sweeter flesh - they can take some time to prepare and I like mine a little lumpy which works well for ruta's - i will typically add ruta with potato for my mash so it's neither too starchy nor too sweet.

Good to know and thanks. I'll have to give them a go the next time around since I like mash on the lumpy side.
