Turnip Casserole
I recently took these Turnips out of the winter garden and they were so beautiful I wanted to create a special dish for them. So this is the recipe that I developed for my prize Turnips. You will never know that Turnips are the base for this casserole. This is one of those casseroles that has a wonderful flavor surprise. I sure hope you enjoy this dish.

Those turnips are super special - literally from ground to table.
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful! I have a question....you had visited my blog and invited me to bring a dish Thursday. Can you please tell me how you do this. I saw it on your blog and appreciate you including me! Lauree from www.thesolbergseries.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHi Lauree,

Have a great day!

You know I have never tried turnips, this looks amazing and just the right dish for me to try it out :)
ReplyDeleteTurnips are one of my favorite vegetables. I can hardly wait to try this, it wounds heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI was admiring some locally grown turnips at the farmers market this past weekend, but I didn't buy them, as I couldn't come up with anything to make with them. I've only cooked with turnips a handful of times, and really, only used them in stew. But this sounds lovely. Might just have to pick them up next time I'm there and try it!
ReplyDeleteI've never been a huge turnip fan as my parents usually had them plain or raw growing up, but all the different and tasty sounding flavours in this casserole make me want to try it! Plus, anything with bacon has to be good. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting our blog! I am now following! Love your recipes!
ReplyDeleteI love turnips, and fresh one have no words, loved this casserole, must be a delightful one....cheers !
ReplyDeleteMy mom always mashed cooked turnip in with our mashed potatoes and I love it that way also. I think I might try this recipe. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your friendly comment :) I'll be sure to stop by again and hopefully I'll be able to submit some more recipes!
ReplyDeleteThanks again!

Thank for dropping by the Whimsical Wife. What a lovely warming winter dish. I will have to give it a go once the weather becomes cooler here in Aussie Land
ReplyDeleteYour turnips are gorgeous! Wow, I can imagine how delicious your turnip casserole is! Homegrown always taste the best!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful - I love that you have used fruit in it too - yum! What a fantastic way to serve turnip!
ReplyDeleteHelen this looks delicious. I will be trying tho I have no prize turnips......
ReplyDeleteOh Miz Helen, what a beautiful thing! What a joy to see those beauties. And turnip casserole, I've never even contemplated such a thing! Thanks for sharing with the Hearth and Soul hop.
ReplyDeleteAll the time I was growing up, my mother tried to get me to eat (and like) turnips. They were so bitter to me, I just didn't care for them...but love turnip greens. I may give this recipe a try as it really sounds very good. Wonder why the turnips from my childhood were bitter??
ReplyDeleteI have my post up to play in your Thursday meme. See ya later tonight. :))

ReplyDeleteJust a "sneak peak" for next week, the theme is "HUBBY COOKS". So, we hope to see you again next Monday (and maybe if you don't already have a husband that cooks, you can talk him into making you dinner this week... that's what I have to do!)
