“My family would never eat turnips until I served them this way,” says Debbie Henry from Phelpston, Ontario. This downsized version goes well with turkey, ham or roast beef. TIP: A pound of turnips yields about 2 cups chopped.
Ingredients:
3 cups cubed peeled turnips
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg
4-1/2 teaspoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
dash ground nutmeg
topping:
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons butter, melted
Directions:
1. Place turnips in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain; mash with butter. Cool slightly.
2. Beat in egg. Combine the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, salt, pepper and nutmeg; stir into turnip mixture.
3. Spoon into a 3-cup baking dish coated with cooking spray. Toss bread crumbs and butter; sprinkle over casserole. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through and a thermometer reads 160°. Yield: 3 servings.
