For a richer flavor, consider browning the softened butter before adding it to the turnip mixture. This adds a nutty depth to the dish. Feel free to experiment with different types of bread for the crumbs. Sourdough or multigrain bread can add interesting textures and flavors. A pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cinnamon can complement the sweetness of the applesauce and enhance the overall warmth of the casserole.
