Preheat the oven to 200 °C/ 400 °F (conventional), or 180 °C/ 355 °F (fan assisted). Cut the bacon into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces and arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes until crisp, ant then remove from the oven. You can use the bacon grease for greasing the pan in the next step.
Heat the reserved bacon grease in a medium pan over medium high heat. Add in the turnip and onion, cook until soft about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer to a 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 cm) baking dish. Top the turnip and onion with the spinach.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, and spices. Optionally, you can add ground cumin and chile powder to taste for more flavor. Pour over the spinach.
Sprinkle the cheese across the top then arrange the bacon in a single layer across the top of the casserole.
Transfer to the oven and bake 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set. Serve. To store, keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
