This recipe has been in our family for years. We like turnips with turkey, so my mother used to serve this side dish with our turkey dinner at Christmas. Then I served this dish, and now my daughter, who has taken over preparing Christmas dinner, is carrying on the tradition. Ingredients:
3 medium turnips, peeled and cubed |
4 tablespoons butter, divided |
2 eggs |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
dash ground nutmeg |
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Place turnips in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain.
2. In a small bowl, combine turnips, 2 tablespoons butter and eggs. Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, pepper and nutmeg; add to turnip mixture and mix well. Transfer to a greased 8-in.-square baking dish.
3. Melt remaining butter; toss with bread crumbs. Sprinkle over top. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings.
