Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Step 2
Peel the turnips and slice thinly. Using about ½ tablespoon of butter, butter well the bottom and sides of an oval gratin dish.
- Step 3
Mix the Parmesan cheese with the salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne. Bring the milk or cream to a boil in a separate saucepan and keep hot.
- Step 4
Layer turnip slices in the dish, dusting each layer with the spicy cheese mixture. When all the turnips are used up, pour the hot milk into the dish. Strew bread crumbs over the top and dot with the remaining butter.
- Step 5
Bake, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes, until turnips are soft and have absorbed much of the liquid.

Delicious! Used soy milk, fresh breadcrumbs from one slice of bread, and sprayed with olive oil! Baked covered 50 minutes, uncovered another 15!
Definitely perplexed by cook time. Guessed on cayenne
This is delicious and looks beautiful but took far longer to bake than indicated - 2 hours. Reminds me of stew recipes that say cook for 30 minutes or until tender. Made this using milk and plan to try with evaporated milk next time to keep calorie count but get a richer sauce. Wonderful winter side or light meal with a green salad and vinaigrette dressing.
