Reviews
This was my first turnip casserole, and it’s a lovely alternative to potatoes, has a mild flavor, and is super easy to make. I used rosemary breadcrumbs that I had.
I made this for Christmas dinner and it was a huge hit! A new twist on traditional turnip that’s sure to please old and young. Will certainly be making again
This recipe is very similar to my mother’s for Thanksgiving and Christmas which I have been making for years! Great way to introduce this vegetable to picky eaters, however, we prefer not to have the topping, as it is not necessary for this great dish.
