For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the mashed turnips. The casserole can be assembled a day ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. Add about 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Feel free to experiment with different types of bread crumbs. Panko bread crumbs will give a crispier topping.
