This gratin is similar to a traditional potato casserole, except that instead of potatoes, it's made with turnips. Turnips are just as tasty and textured, and they're far more nutritious. To prepare, the turnips need to be sliced very thinly, using a mandoline. The slices are placed in a casserole dish, topped with grated cheese, pats of butter, and topped with a spiced cream infused with thyme and garlic. Three layers of each ingredient are added. The gratin is then baked in the oven until it's crispy and cheesy. Perfect for holidays and every day!

- Grease a baking dish with butter and place 1/3 of the sliced turnips in it. Sprinkle the turnips with 1/3 of the grated cheese and 1/3 of the butter. Remove the thyme and garlic from the cream and pour 1/3 of the liquid over the turnips. Repeat this process 2 more times until all the ingredients are used.
