Carrots and sugar sweeten the turnip in this side dish. A must for my family’s Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. The recipe is often requested.
Ingredients
- 3 large carrots, cubed
- 1 large turnip, cubed
- 3 tablespoons softened butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
Step 2
Place the carrot and turnip cubes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
Step 3
Return the carrots and turnips to the pot, and mash well with the butter, salt, flour and 1/4 cup of sugar. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl, then stir into the mashed carrot mixture until blended. Scrape into the prepared casserole dish. Stir together 2 tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle over the top of the carrot mash.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until the carrot mash has slightly firmed and the top has begun to turn golden brown, about 45 minutes.
