Top layer:

2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp sour cream
1 egg

Recipe by JulieR
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Peel rutabaga and turnips, making sure to remove the tough top bits; place
in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cover with pan lid,
lower heat and simmer for about an hour until tender. Drain then cube and
place veggies and remaining ingredients in a food processor; puree. Add egg
while processor is whirring and let it go for another 20 seconds or so to
make sure it's mixed in well.
(You can also cube them ahead of time then simmer for about 20 minutes and
it doesn't take so long to cook, but both veggies are so hard and woody I've
given up on that technique and just boil them whole.)
Final topping: approx 1/3 cup grated parmesan or mizithra cheese
Putting it all together:
Mix the cooked beef and sauce together and put it in the bottom of a large
casserole dish. Layer the cooked vegetable over it, then the turnip/rutabaga
"mashed potatoes". Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top. Bake covered for
25 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until top
layer is golden brown.
Carbs: total = 31.38 - 7.01 for fiber = 24.37; per serving, approx 6.0925.
(all amounts approximate)
