4 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
8 bacon slices, chopped
1 1/4 pounds turnips, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
2 16-ounce bags frozen petite peas, thawed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix 6 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons dill in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. (Dill butter can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
