6 med. turnips, peeled
3/4 c. crushed saltine crackers
1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c. milk (not used all together)
5 tbsp. butter, melted (not used all together)
Paprika
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour

Cook turnips, covered, in boiling salted water 25 minutes or until tender. Hollow out each turnip, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Finely chip turnip centers (should have about 1 cup of chopped turnip). Combine crushed crackers, cheese, 1/4 cup of milk and 3 tablespoons of butter.

Fill turnips with cheese mixture. Place in a greased 10 x 6 x 2-inch baking pan. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with paprika. Bake, covered, in 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes more.

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter; blend in flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add remaining milk. Cook and stir until bubbly. Cook 2 minutes more. Stir in chopped turnip. Heat through. Spoon sauce over turnips. Makes 6 servings.
