When many baked dishes like this one, or macaroni & cheese, or rice pudding
are cooking, they will generally begin to set and form a crust around the
edge of the baking dish and on the top surface. Turn it under means stir
the crusted parts back into the overall content of the dish. It helps to
even the cooking and prevent over cooking of the edge and top.
