Keto Turnip Gratin (Just Like Potatoes!)
Thin slices of turnips are baked in a rich cheese sauce until tender. A dish so good, it will have you saying, "Potato who?"
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds turnips about 2 medium turnips
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tablespoon horseradish
- 1 garlic clove minced
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 3 ounces shredded extra-sharp white cheddar cheese divided
- 2 ounces shredded Gruyère cheese divided
- 2 tablespoons Boursin garlic and herb cheese spread
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a medium sized baking dish and set aside.
- Prepare the turnips by slicing off the ends and peeling the outer layer. Rinse off any dirt.
- Using a mandoline, carefully slice each turnip into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thickness. The total weight of the sliced turnips should be roughly 1 pound.
- Layer the turnip slices in the prepared dish. They will overlap. Try to get the layers as even as possible so the top does not dome up. Set aside
- In a small sauce pan over medium heat, heat the heavy cream but not let it boil. Whisk continuously to avoid burning.
- Whisk in the Dijon mustard, horseradish, and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and whisk to combine.
- When the cream is hot, after 3 to 4 minutes, add half of the white cheddar, half of the Gruyère, and all of the Boursin. Whisk until all the cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
- Carefully pour the cheese sauce over the turnips so that they are evenly coated.
- Top the dish with the remaining white cheddar and Gruyère cheese. Cover with foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and cook an additional 10 minutes to get a nice golden color on top. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving.
