Turnips Au Gratin

Turnips Au Gratin is a dish that’s so creamy and cheesy and rich. I can’t think of a better way to eat turnips. Makes a great holiday side dish!

For the cheese, I like to use a combination of Parmesan cheese and gruyere cheese. The nuttiness of gruyere is so good with turnips. Flavored with just a little garlic and fresh thyme, this is a simple, but delicious recipe.

I admittedly don’t cook turnips often. Does anyone?

But boy oh boy, this creamy, rich Turnips Au Gratin dish is worthy of being made again and again.

Turnips have kind of a peppery taste that lends itself to a creamy casserole. Preferably, you’ll want to cut the turnips really thinly and uniformly with a mandoline.
