And if I'm feeling fancy, some tarragon! I think the sweetness of the carrots helps cut the (potential) bitterness of the turnip, so you might want to try that and see if your husband likes it any better. It's how my mom always makes them for things like Thanksgiving, and I must say, I can't imagine eating them any other way! Also my non-turnip eating fiancé will gobble turnip-carrot mash down, so I think that says something too!

Lots of water came out, lots of fibrous turnip matter left behind, very little edible turnip. I think I'll use the food processor next time. I didn't think they were that bad with some salted butter mixed in but my husband griped that nobody likes turnips, then I laughed when my sister sent me this link today; read to the first instruction the Mike Byron family: http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/07/01/awkward-family-story-the-thanksgiving-letter/ I boiled the turnips last night and tried to mash them using a ricer.
