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!

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.

    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.

    Made this tonight as a side dish with pork chops, used gruyere, white cheddar and a little mozzarella. It was delicious!!! Wish I could post pix. Hubby and grandkids ate it up. Definitely will make this again.

    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.

    I got a big turnip in my Misfits Market box…and already had 3 tiny ones…and no idea what to do that I might be able to sneak down my boys. This was inspired. They love au gratin …and ate it right up. The only change I made was grinding of fresh pink salt, extra pepper (it’s what they are used to 😉 ) and I changed out the parmesan, which the boys don’t like, for queso/asadero cheese which they love. Thanks for giving that giant turnip a wonderful use <3
