Fold the overhanging leaves in over the filling. Sprinkle the top with the Parmesan. Bake for 25 minutes.

Cooking Notes
This recipe is fantastic and deserves better than to sit here neglected without an image or even reviews. I had no turnip but did everything else according to the instructions, and the whole family was happy about the dish. I made one generous recipe and we had just enough for four as a main course. It would also make a great side for a Christmas dinner or other special meal. Do try it!
