Turnip Puff

I was asked on the Thanksgiving thread, so here it is:


Turnip Puff



1 turnip,cubed

1 carrot, sliced

1/2 onion, chopped

1/4 c butter

1 tbsp brown sugar

pinch grated nutmeg



Put all of this in a pot and cover with chicken stock (recipe calls for 1 & 1/2 cups, I just pour until all the veggies are covered)

Bring to a boil, then simmer 45 minutes or until veggies are tender

Transfer veggies & stock to a blender (I need to do a couple batches)

Puree until smooth

Cool to room temperature



Add:



2 beaten eggs

2 tbsp flour

1 tsp baking powder

salt & pepper to taste



Can be frozen at this point

OR

Butter 6 cup casserole dish

Bake uncovered at 350F for 30 minutes or until golden brown



I always use a blender - it gets baby food smooth. I found I couldn't get it smooth enough in the food processor or with an immersion blender.



Next to stuffing, my favourite part of Thanksgiving!!
