For an even richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of regular butter. A pinch of nutmeg or a clove of minced garlic can add a warm, aromatic note to the mashed rutabaga. If you don't have evaporated milk, heavy cream or half-and-half can be used as a substitute. To make this dish vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.
