A delightful twist on a classic turnip dish, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Peel and chop the turnips into chunks.
Cut the turnips into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
Boil the turnips in a pot of water until tender, about 15 minutes.
Check tenderness by piercing with a fork; it should slide in easily.
Drain the turnips and mash them until smooth.
For a smoother texture, use a food processor instead of a masher.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed turnips, butter, brown sugar, milk, egg, salt, and pepper.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for an even flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Press the crumbs lightly to create a uniform topping.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes, until golden brown on top.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to set.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious casserole.
Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
