1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. To prepare beets, simmer for about 1 hour. Drain and rinse in cold water. Rub off peels with paper towels. Slice thin.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine broth and water. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat. Add turnips; simmer until just tender, about 7 minutes. Drain turnips in a colander.
3. Arrange turnips and beets in circles, overlapping slightly in a small shallow baking dish. Drizzle with margarine. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
4. Bake casserole until turnips are tender and casserole is golden, about 30 minutes. Slice casserole into wedges. Serve immediately.
