Just lovely! I added a bit of the cheese to the white sauce as well as sprinkling some on top of the dish. A keeper for sure - thank you.

I have never had a turnip before in my life, so I was looking for something that would be an easy introduction. This was delicious and easy to make. I used 4 smaller turnips rather than 3 and I could have used more had I had them in the house. For anyone wondering, you make a white sauce by heating the butter over medium/med high heat, then whisk in the flour and whisk constantly for a minute or two to cook the flour a bit, then pour in your milk (slowly, so it doesn't splash) whisking quickly to break up any lumps. You then cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat until the mixture bubbles and thickens to the consistency you like, then add seasoning to taste. I added a bit of colby/jack to the sauce, then put the rest on top. I really loved this, as did my 18 mo, but the 5 yo and my husband did not care for it. I will make it again, just giving them a backup dish. I thought turnips would have a "rootier" flavor, but these were really mild. I did peel them before slicing. Thanks for sharing the great recipe, and sorry for the super long review!

What a delcious way to prepare turnips!!!! These were hard to share, you want the whole pan to yourself!!!! I peeled my turnips to keep the bitterness away and I used 1/2 cup evaporated milk with the rest 2%. I used whole wheat flour and I let the sauce get good and thick. I had a mixture of cheeses to use up so mine was a mixture of havarti, swiss, and mild cheddar on top. Soooooooo good!!!!! Thank you for this great recipe!!!!
