Instructions

Heat the soymilk until it is just beginning to bubble–I heated it for about 2 minutes, stirring every 15 seconds. Watch it, and don’t let it boil over. (You can do this on the stove if you prefer.) Set it aside until the turnips are done. When the turnips are soft, drain them and put them back into the pan or into a large serving bowl. Using a potato masher, mash them well but don’t worry about lumps at this point.

Add the sauce to the mashed turnips. At this point, I used my super-powerful hand blender (immersion blender) to puree it to creamy smoothness. If you don’t have one, you can put the whole mixture into a food processor or blender and puree. Check the seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if needed, and serve with a sprinkling of nutmeg on top.
