This was in the morning paper, looks like a good side dish for Thanksgiving:
Turnip Gratin with Blue Cheese
Serves: 8 / Preparation time: 15 minutes / Total time: 1 hour 45 minutes
4 medium white turnips, sliced about 1/8-inch thick
1 yellow onion, peeled, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled Roquefort or other blue cheese
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a 9-inch round baking dish, toss together the turnips, onion and melted
butter. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil the whipping cream,
nutmeg and pepper; cook for 1 minute.
Remove the turnips from the oven and take off the foil. Pour the cream sauce
over the turnips, toss well and sprinkle blue cheese on top.
Return the turnips to the oven, uncovered, and bake for one hour or until
the top is golden. If necessary, run the dish under the broiler for 1 minute
if the top isn't golden.
