Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized turnips
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium-sized, diced yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup, grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the turnips and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Stir in the cubed turnips, ensuring they are evenly coated with the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable stock and sprinkle in the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the turnips simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and can be pierced easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the lid and reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
