(We're reviving this recipe in honor of the last turnips of season at Rio Gozo Farm. It was written for the blog a few years ago. Lest you forget...Lanttulaatikko (there's a lot of double consonants in that name) it's ben a long time since you've seen it and it is delicious.If you were raised in Finland, you might already be familiar with this delicious use for turnips. Turnips want to be with cream and butter, and the Fins know this. Lanttulaatikko is roughly translated as "turnip bread," but this is really more of a baked mash.
3 -4 turnips
1/4 C breadcrumbs
1/4 C cream
2 eggs, beaten
pinch salt
pinch nutmeg
2 Tbs butter
Preheat oven to 350. Boil turnips until very soft. Drain and mash. Combine cream, eggs, breadcrumbs and spices, and add to turnips. Pour mix into a buttered baking dish and top with the 2 Tbs of butter. Bake for 1 hour.

My husband made this last night and it was delicious. We substituted low-fat milk for the cream and it was still devine. Looking forward to experimenting with it a bit and adding seasonal veggies (corn would probably be really good)!
