- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups thinly shaved Brussel sprouts
- ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F.
- Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Place quartered turnips in a large saucepan or stockpot; cover with water and add 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Set the stockpot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil; continue to cook at a steady boil for 10 minutes, or until very tender.

- Place heavy cream, 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper in a microwavable bowl or cup; microwave on HIGH for 1 to 1½ minutes, or until butter is melted and mixture is hot.
- Mash the turnips with a potato masher.
- Add the hot cream mixture to the turnips and continue to mash until combined and fluffy.
- To the turnips add the Brussels sprouts mixture and half of the bacon; stir to combine.
