    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.
