Some of us liked this, some of us didn't. It needed a lot more salt to me. It was good, as far as turnips go.

The below comments are all correct as to needed adjustments to the recipe. However, even with these adjustments, my guests did not enjoy the casserole.

This is my first experience with turnips and I must say, I am impressed! I took into account Parsley72's comments and I halved all other ingredients except for the turnips and carrots (I forgot to buy an onion, so I just used dried). It took about 50 minutes at 375 for mine to get fully cooked as well. I used all fat free ingredients and I think it turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!

Delicious turnip casserole. This recipe is so close to 5 stars, except I think as written, would be too runny or soupy. As I read the recipe, I thought that only 2 cups of diced turnips was not enough in relation to the cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, etc. I used about 4 1/2 cups of turnips. Also, after baking 45 minutes at 350, it wasn't set at all....still very jiggly. I cranked up the oven ton 375 and baked for an extra 15-20 minutes and it was perfect. Not dried out at all. This casserole has excellent flavor. Thanx for posting this. With the extra turnips and extra baking time, I'll make this again.
