Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375º.Start by peeling and thinly slicing the turnips and mincing the cloves of garlic. Grate about 2 cups of Gruyere cheese.In a large oven-proof skillet, melt 2-3 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Place a single layer of turnips on top of the butter. Next, sprinkle a little of the garlic on top, then - and this is purely optional and really not all that necessary - add a couple of tablespoons of butter. Next drizzle a healthy splash of chicken broth over the turnips. Next, do the same with the cream. Now add a nice layer of Gruyere - about ½ cup. Sprinkle a bit of salt, but not much as the cheese is already salty.Repeat these layers twice more. Sprinkle on some freshly ground black pepper.Now pop the whole thing into the over and bake for about 20 minutes or until the top is hot, brown and bubbly.

TURNIP GRATIN
A turnip gratin can be a rich, creamy affair, but this lighter version made with low-fat milk is equally delicious and comforting. When you use low-fat milk for a gratin, you will find quite a bit of liquid in the pan when you pull the dish from the oven. Let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes and the turnips will reabsorb the moisture. If any liquid remains in the dish, it's delicious spooned over the gratin.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter or oil a 2-quart baking dish or gratin dish. Rub the sides and bottom with the cut clove of garlic.
- Place the sliced turnips in a bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Add half the cheese and the thyme and toss together, then transfer to the gratin dish and pour on the milk. It should just cover the turnips.
- Place in the oven and bake 30 minutes. Push the turnips down into the milk with the back of a large spoon. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and return to the oven. Bake another 40 to 50 minutes, until all of the milk is absorbed, the turnips are soft and the dish is nicely browned on top and around the edges.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Thinly slice the potatoes and turnips to about 2mm thick - you can use a Japanese mandolin if you have one - then toss together in a large bowl. Pour the cream in a pan, then add the garlic, plenty of salt and some white pepper - be generous when seasoning the cream as the potatoes and turnips aren't seasoned separately. Bring the cream to the boil, then remove from the heat and put to one side. Grease a large gratin dish and layer a third of the potatoes and turnips in the dish, slightly overlapping each other as if you are building a wall. Pour over a third of the warm cream, then continue in this way with the remaining potatoes, turnips and cream.
- Put the gratin in the oven and cook for 20 mins. Remove the dish from the oven and push the potatoes and turnips down with a fish slice. This will help to release the starches and the cream will eventually reduce and thicken. Put the gratin back in the oven and repeat the process every 10 mins until the potatoes and turnips feel tight and firm. Return to the oven for another 20 mins and cook until golden brown and tender - test by inserting a sharp knife through the potatoes and turnips. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly.

CHEESY TURNIP AND POTATO GRATIN
Replacing turnip for some of the potatoes not only reduces carbs but also adds another layer of flavor. I also chose to use half-and-half over whipping cream to lighten things up a bit.
