Easy Turnip Casserole
Here’s a recipe that uses a number of this week’s CSA veggies. If you don’t have enough turnips, potatoes, kohlrabi and/or celeriac would be good extenders.
1 1/2 pounds turnips, peeled, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, thinly sliced
2/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup grated sharp cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons bread crumbs
Cook turnips in boiling, salted water to cover until just tender. Drain. Sauté the onion, green pepper and celery in butter until tender; sprinkle with flour and cook 1 minute. Add milk and stir until thickened. Stir in cheese, salt and pepper. Combine cheese sauce with turnips, place in baking dish and top with bread crumbs. Brown under broiler.
May be prepared ahead and heated under the broiler just before serving.
Serves 4.
