Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds white turnips
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons butter
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

Peel turnips and cut into one-and-a-half-inch pieces. Put them in heavy saucepan with orange juice, chicken stock and one tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper; simmer uncovered until the turnips are tender and the liquid has evaporated (about 20 minutes). If more liquid is needed to cook the turnips, add a little more water.
Meanwhile, blanch and drain the orange peel.
Add the remaining butter and the sugar to the turnips and continue cooking them, turning them with a spoon, until they are glazed. Sprinkle them with the grated peel and thyme leaves. Correct seasoning and serve.
