Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (1-1.5 inches thick)
- 2 large turnips, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Press the "Saute" button on the Instant Pot and heat the olive oil until shimmering.

- When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.

- Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the turnip mixture until smooth.
- Stir in the mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
