- 5/8 lbs good cheddar cheese
- 2 can cream of celery soup
- 0.5 herb-seasoned stuffing mix
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Peel 2 lb turnips. If using large turnips, they will have a stronger flavor; small ones are milder. Cut into even chunks and boil in salted water until just tender when pierced with a fork, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then slice into ¼-inch rounds.
-
Step 2.
While the turnips boil, grate 10 oz cheddar cheese coarsely. In a small bowl, mix both cans of cream of celery soup with ½ cup water until smooth.
-
Step 3.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread half of the herb-seasoned stuffing mix evenly over the bottom of the dish.
-
Step 4.
Layer half of the sliced turnips over the stuffing mix, then sprinkle with half of the grated cheese. Pour half of the soup mixture evenly over the cheese.
-
Step 5.
Repeat layers: remaining turnips, remaining cheese, and remaining soup mixture. Top with the remaining stuffing mix, spreading evenly.
-
Step 6.
Bake uncovered until the casserole is browned and bubbly, about 1 hour. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
