 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4       c            Millet
  6       c            Water
  1 1/2   ts           Salt
  4       c            Diced turnips

 Wash millet and drain with a fine mesh strainer until
 water comes clean. Place millet in a heavy pot and add
 cooking water. Let soak 4-8 hours or overnight before
 cooking.

 Add salt and diced turnips. Bring to a boil, place
 heat deflector under the pot, then simmer over low
 flame for 45-50 minutes. For a creamier texture, allow
 millet to sit in the pot 10 minutes before uncovering.
 Mash with a potato masher; if necessary, add a cup of
 water while mashing to make a mashed potato
 consistency. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover.
 Serve with an ice cream scoop and top with gravy.
