The Best Turnip Au Gratin Recipe Ever | WholeLifestyleNutrition.com

Hello, Turnips!

 

Can you say HELLO to these delicious little gems — yep they are gems!  Have you ever cooked with turnips before?

If you haven’t, don’t worry. Neither had I, to be honest. I never knew what to do with them.

Then in this week’s CSA box, there were 3 of them right in front of me and I said, “Looks like it’s time for me to create a delicious turnip au gratin recipe”, so that is just what I did!

And once it comes out, it will be bubbly and absolutely beautiful!  Can you taste it now?

Description

The Best Turnip Au Gratin Recipe is super easy and just requires a tad bit of layering and a few ingredients and it is ready to pop in the oven!


Ingredients

  • 3 large turnips
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shaved parmesan
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • fresh thyme
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Peel, trim and slice the turnips very thinly. I used my mandoline.
  3. In a cast iron skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter.
  4. Put a layer of turnips on the bottom of the skillet on top of the butter.
  5. Season lightly with salt and pepper and add 1/3 cup cheddar cheese and 1/3 cup parmesan cheese.
  6. Add a tbsp of butter, cut into small pieces and place on top of this layer.
  7. Drizzle 2 tbsp milk over the turnips, top with some fresh thyme.
  8. Repeat steps 4-7 until a total of 3 layers are formed. Finish with a cheesy top.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minute until bubbly and brown.

    wonder if this would work with kohlarabi and other root veggies?

      I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Just be sure to slice them really thinly. Good luck! 🙂

      This would be absolutely delicious with kohlrabi —Use Gruyere instead of cheddar and a pinch of nutmeg – – Swiss recipe

    Excellent recipe. Turned out beautiful and tasty! I used a little heavy cream instead of the milk since milk is mostly water anyway and there’s plenty of water in the turnips.

    My CSA turnips are all rather small (~1.5” diameter). About how many cups of sliced turnip would you say your 3 large turnips produced?

    This is a fall family favorite in our household. The only difference is that we use shredded swiss or gruyere instead of cheddar. It gives it an added nuttiness. Added bonus — we use the greens for turnip greens — no waste from our abundant garden!

      I would also like to know. I really need to invest in one, but would a baking dish work for this?

        Worked fine for me in a casserole dish, just not as cool looking 😉

    I’ve eaten turnips since a small child and I’m 70 years old. My daughter made this dish tonight from a sample of turnips I gave her from the local Farmers Market. It is by far the best turnip dish I’ve ever eaten! She used the mandolin slicer & prepared in a cast iron skillet-beautiful!

    We had this with our ham for Easter,and it was very popular. I made this in a Pyrex casserole dish and didn’t bother to melt the butter.

    I made this last year for Thanksgiving, and it went over great. Big hit! Question could I make this the night before and pop it in the oven before dinner?

    Wonder if I could also slice one beet? Got turnips and 1 beet in my Veggie Misfits box- never cooked with them before.

    I think I’m going to make this and NOT tell my husband it’s turnips. He just said the greens are fine but the root is gross. Whatever. I’ll just let him think it’s potatoes.
