  1. Even turnip haters love this!
     
  2. I first had this delicious turnip puff at my Fathers place,(made by his girlfriend). Both my sister and I have gotten the recipe from her since,(which is the exact recipe as yours,except she only uses 1/4 tsp. baking powder). I have made it several times now,and I think my husband & I enjoy it more than regular mashed turnip now!! I am actually making it right now to go along with our roast beef for supper tonight, so I did a search to compare recipes out of curiosity. Upon seeing your recipe, I did increase my baking powder today to 1 tsp. I have also halved this recipe with great success! As you say this is great to go along with your Christmas or Thanksgiving holiday turkey, or any meal that you enjoy mashed turnip with!
     
  3. I have been making this recipe for years and years and it is still a family favourite. The only difference I make is to add 4 carrots along with the turnip. Makes it slightly sweeter. Anne-Marie
     
  4. I'm so glad this was posted. This is a traditional dish my brother and sister in law make at every Thanksgiving and Easter. I lost my recipe that they copied for me (From the Cookbook "the Best of Bridge.") This taste exactly like it. For varation I sometimes replace a couple cups of turnip with carrots and cook together.
     
  5. We loved this recipe, made it for Christmas, but instead of bread crumbs I used Crispy Onions on top, next time I will put chopped onions in it as well
