Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Turnips:
- Peel the turnips and thinly slice them into rounds. You can use a mandoline slicer for consistent thickness.
3. Make the Cheese Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and almond milk. Stir in the dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. This should take about 5 minutes.
4. Layer the Turnips and Cheese Sauce:

- Repeat the process, layering turnips and sauce until you’ve used them all.
5. Bake:
