Cheesy Stuffed Turnips
Serves 6
Ingredients:
6 medium size turnips, peeled
3/4 c. crushed saltine crackers
1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c. milk (not used all together)
5 tbsp. butter or margarine, melted (not used all together)
Paprika
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
Method:
Cook turnips, covered, in boiling salted water 25
minutes or until tender. Hollow out each turnip, leaving a 1/2-inch
shell. Finely chip turnip centers (should have about 1 cup of
chopped turnip). Combine crushed crackers, cheese, 1/4 cup of milk
and 3 tablespoons of butter. Fill turnips with cheese mixture.
Place in a greased 10 x 6 x 2-inch baking pan. Brush with melted
butter; sprinkle with paprika. Bake, covered, in 350 degree oven
for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes more. Melt remaining 2
tablespoons butter; blend in flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8
teaspoon pepper. Add remaining milk. Cook and stir until bubbly.
Cook for 2 minutes more. Stir in chopped turnip. Heat through.
Spoon sauce over turnips.
