This recipe has been in our family for years. We like turnips with turkey, so my mother used to serve this side dish with our turkey dinner at Christmas. Then I served this dish, and now my daughter, who has taken over preparing Christmas dinner, is carrying on the tradition.

AMISH TURNIP BAKE - GF RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Amish Turnip Bake - GF Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by aerin8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb small turnips
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 tsp table salt
3 tbsp butter (divided use)
2 tbsp cream
1 egg
2/3 cup bread crumbs*
Sweetener equal to 2 tsp of sugar
1 tsp sea salt

Steps:

  • Trim and peel turnips. Cut into chunks. Bring a 2 quart pan of water to boil. Add 2 tsp table salt and 2 tbsp white vinegar. Add turnips and boil until soft. Drain water. Mash turnips with 2 tbsp butter, cream and egg. Stir in 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, sweetener and salt. Spoon into a casserole dish. Dot with remaining butter and sprinkle bread crumbs over the top. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes *I used Jennifer Eloff's recipe for Plain Bread, a quick microwave bread which toasted, makes good bread crumbs. Recipe Below 4 servings 165 cal. Jiffy Cinnamon Bread: 7 tbsp ground almonds (105 mL) 31/2 tsp coconut flour (17 mL) 31/2 tsp oat flour (17 mL) 1 tsp baking powder (5 mL) 1/2 tsp cinnamon (2 mL) 1/4 tsp salt (1 mL) 2 to 3 tbsp raisins, snipped (30 - 45 mL) in half 3 eggs 41/2 tsp heavy cream, OR almond milk, OR (22 mL) coconut milk Liquid sucralose to equal 4 tsp (20 mL) SPLENDA® Granular 11/2 tsp olive oil (7 mL) 3 tbsp shredded Monterey Jack cheese (45 mL) Spray an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In medium bowl, combine ground almonds, coconut flour, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir in raisins. In small bowl, with fork, whisk eggs, heavy cream, liquid sucralose, OR SPLENDA® Granular and olive oil together. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and pour in egg mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and mix everything together really well until the mixture thickens slightly. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Spread out evenly. Microwave on high 2 minutes and 50 seconds (Your microwave might need different timing. Mine is powerful and runs hot.). Remove from microwave oven and immediately cut a cross in the bread dividing it length-wise and horizontally in half into 4 quadrants. Take each half and flip it over to allow the undersides to dry out a bit. When cool, slice each piece in half horizontally so that you have 8 slices of bread that are more or less the size of a slice of store-bought raisin bread. Place in the toaster and toast until nice and brown.. Variation: Plain Bread (great for toast): Omit raisins, cinnamon, sweetener and salt. Instead use 1/4 tsp (1 mL) onion salt. This recipe makes great grilled cheese sandwiches in a grilled cheese sandwich maker. Nutritional Analysis: 8 slices, 1 slice: 103.6 cal; 5.2 g pro; 8.2 g fat; 1.7 g carbs

1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed
1/2 cup red wine
2 tablespoons parsley, minced

  • Pour off bacon fat from skillet and reserve.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings in the skillet over medium heat.
  • Add leeks to skillet cooking until softened and starting to brown (8-10 minutes). Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat another tablespoon of the bacon dripping in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the potatoes and cook until tender and golden brown, tossing and seasoing with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper (15 minutes). Add potatoes to bowl (with leeks).
  • Repeat with remaining potoates.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in skillet over medium high heat. Add turnips and cook until tender and starting to brown, seaoning with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper (5 minutes). Add to bowl (with potatoes and leeks).
  • Add carrot to skillet, stirring for 2 minutes before adding to bowl.
  • Add remaining salt (1/4 teaspoon) and pepper (1/8 teaspoon) and fennel seeds to bowl and toss.
  • Spread half of the vegetables in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with bacon and cover with remaining vegetables. Chill to room temperature and then cover and chill overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 425-degrees F.
  • Bring vegetables to room temperature. Pour wine over all.
  • Bake until wine has evaporated and top is browned (30 minutes).
  • Sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips: Look for small, tender turnips with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid turnips that are large, woody, or have cracks or bruises.
  • Peel the turnips thinly: Use a sharp knife to peel the turnips thinly, removing only the outermost layer of skin. This will help the turnips cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Parboil the turnips: Parboiling the turnips before baking helps to remove their bitterness and tenderize them. To parboil, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the turnips and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the turnips and set them aside.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to flavor your turnip bake. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Add some moisture: If you find that your turnip bake is too dry, you can add some moisture by stirring in a little bit of milk, cream, or vegetable broth. You can also top the bake with a layer of cheese before baking, which will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the turnip bake in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.

Conclusion:

Turnip bake is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for cooks of all levels. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy turnips, give this recipe a try!
