Herbed Mashed Turnip and Carrot - Untested

http://www.lordbyronskitchen.com/mashed-turnip-and-carrots-with-herb-butter/

1 large turnips or rutabaga, peeled and diced into 1 inch pieces (about 4 cups)
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped into 1 inch pieces (about 4 cups)
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup butter
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
2 Tbsps fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 Tbsps green onion, chives finely chopped

1. Add the turnip and carrot to a large stock pot and add enough water to cover the vegetables. Add half a teaspoon of salt and, over medium-high heat, cook the vegetables until fork tender. This should take about 30 minutes. The carrot might be cooked a few minutes before the turnip, because turnip tends to be a harder vegetable, but don't worry about overcooking the carrot.
2. Drain the vegetables and add the other half teaspoon of salt, the pepper, butter, thyme, parsley, and green onion.
3. Using a masher, mash the turnip and carrot until the consistency of mashed potatoes. Lastly, stir the mixture together to ensure even distribution of the butter and herbs. Serve immediately.
