I've had a few people ask for recipes using turnips and this a really, really good (and easy!) turnip recipe given to me by my Mother... you should definitely give it a try. It's yummy!
Finnish Turnip Casserole
Ingredients
2 large carrots, cubed
2 large turnips, cubed
3 Tbsp softened butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup flour
1/8 cup sugar (*optional)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Topping:
2 Tbsp sugar mixed with 1/4 tsp cinnamon (*optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2 quart casserole, set aside.
- Clean and peel carrots and turnips. Cut into cubes and place in large pot, cover with salted water.
- Bring carrots and turnips to a boil, reduce heat to med-low and cover. Simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Drain carrots and turnips and allow to dry for a few minutes.
- Return carrots and turnips to the pot and mash them. Add the butter, salt, flour and 1/4 cup sugar and mix well.
- Whisk together the eggs and milk and stir into mashed mixture until blended.
- Scrape into prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle topping over the top.
- Bake at 350 until mash has slightly firmed and top is golden brown -- approx. 45 minutes.
*Note: The original recipe called for 1/4 cup sugar. I reduced it to 1/8 cup sugar, but think you could omit the sugar completely and it would still be really good.
