Easy Make-Ahead Turnip Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 cups cubed turnips
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.13 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 0.5 cup fine bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large pot, place the turnips, cover them with salted water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the turnips are tender, approximately 20 minutes. Drain the turnips, then mash them, and stir in the beaten eggs and 2 tablespoons of butter until well combined.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Then, stir this mixture into the mashed turnip mixture and transfer everything to a baking dish.
4. In a separate small bowl, combine the bread crumbs with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the turnip mixture.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the topping turns a light brown color, about 25 minutes.
