Bacon Turnip Mash
1 large orange turnip (about 2 pounds)
butter or margarine
1 dash salt
1 dash ground black pepper
1 dash garlic powder
1/2 pound bacon, fried and crumbled
2 tablespoons bacon grease
Peel and cube the turnip. Cook in a saucepan in salted water until very tender. Drain then mash with the butter or margarine, salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Set aside.
In a skillet fry the bacon until nice and crispy. Remove from the skillet and crumble. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease. To the skillet with the 2 tablespoons of bacon grease add the mashed turnip and crumpled bacon. Stir and heat to the desired temperature before serving.
