	Julesong / All my dishes 2 years, 2 months ago Delicious all year round, but our family often enjoys this dish for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.

Ingredients

3 to 4 small turnips (tennis-ball sized)

1 clove garlic, minced

3 tablespoons butter, melted

2 tablespoons sour cream

2 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

2 sliced cooked bacon, crumbled (reserve drippings)

Directions

Peel turnips, making sure to remove the tough top bits; place in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cover with pan lid, lower heat and simmer for about an hour until tender. Drain then cut into chunks small enough to fit in your food processor.

Place chunked turnips, garlic, butter, and sour cream in a food processor and puree. Add beaten eggs and cheese and whirr some more until ingredients are well-mixed (it won't take long).

Pour into casserole dish and bake for about 20 minutes at 350F until it's a little brown on top and edges (or you can nuke it for about 7-10 minutes). You might want to experiment the first couple of times you make it to see how brown you like the top. You can sprinkle a little more cheese on the top before baking, if you like.

Top with crumbled bacon, and serve.

Notes: you can also cube the turnips ahead of time then simmer and it doesn't take so long to cook, but some turnips are so hard to cut when raw that I've given up on that technique and just boil them whole. You can also add in the reserved bacon drippings along with the butter, for extra special flavor. :) Some people like to add a little dill weed, too.

I'll bet this would be great with rutabagas, too. Bookmarked!!

I've made it with rutabagas, as well, but as I originally created the recipe for lower-carb eating - and turnips are lower than rutabagas - I usually use the nips. :) Both ways are tasty!
