Parsnip Puree
Instead of the usual mashed potatoes, a buttery parsnip purée—sweetened with apples—is a fine accompaniment to duck or turkey.

- 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter

Instructions
- To a medium pot, add 2½ pounds parsnips (peeled and coarsely chopped), 1½ pounds russet potatoes (peeled and coarsely chopped), 1 pound apples (peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped), 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, and ½ cup water.
