Ingredients

½ cup onion, finely diced
1 Tablespoon butter or margarine
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons flour
1 ⅓ cups nonfat or 1% milk
2 ⅓ cups potatoes, sliced thinly
1 cup turnips, sliced thinly
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
4 teaspoons butter or margarine
2 Tablespoons dry bread crumbs

Directions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté onions in 1 Tablespoon margarine until softened.
  2. Stir in salt, garlic powder, pepper, and flour until smooth. Add milk slowly, stirring rapidly to avoid lumps. Stir constantly until the sauce bubbles and thickens slightly. Remove from heat .
  3. Place mixed potatoes and turnips in layers in a lightly oiled or sprayed baking dish.
  4. Pour sauce over the potato mixture; sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  5. Melt 2 teaspoons butter; mix with the dry bread crumbs and sprinkle evenly over top.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the bread crumbs have browned. Potatoes and turnips should be tender when poked with a fork. 
  7. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes

  • Try making with sliced parsnips instead of turnips.

WOW!  Just saw this featured in the Oregon Harvest for Schools video for turnips and it looks sooooo good I had to try it.  SUCH an easy recipe, so fast to prep and it lived up to the video and tasted amazing.  I didn't have turnips so I only used potatoes, and also I had to try a different cheese as we were out of Parm.  All good and the leftovers tasted even more flavorful!
