Buttered Turnip Puree

• 3 large turnips, peeled and cut into even sized medium chunks
• 3 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 bunch fresh thyme
• 2 clove garlic, peeled and gently crushed with the side of a knife
• 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into cubes
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Add turnips, milk, thyme and garlic to a medium-sized sauce pot.
2. Set over medium heat and place the lid over the pot so it is just covering.
3. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until tender - the tip of a paring knife should go through without resistance.
4. Remove the thyme and remove 2 cups of the liquid.
5. Drain and place turnips back into the same pan and blend using an immersion blender or place to a food processor.
6. Add butter and about 1 cup of the milk cooking liquid and blend.
7. Season with salt and pepper and puree until smooth.
8. Add more of the milk if necessary.
