Best Ever Turnips

• 4 pounds white turnips peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces
• 12 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 clove garlic -- peeled
• salt to taste
• freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Bring a lot of salted water to a boil and parboil the turnips for 7 minutes; add the garlic and boil 1 minute longer; drain. Melt half the butter and cook the garlic and turnips, covered, over low heat for 5 minutes. Transfer turnips and garlic to a food processor and puree until smooth, adding remaining butter with the machine turned on. Season well with salt and pepper and, if made in advance, reheat in a double boiler.
