To assemble the dish, rub a large casserole with butter and then the garlic clove.

Layer half of the potatoes and half of the turnips. Put the greens in next and sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme. Sprinkle on the grated cheese. Next put the remaining turnips and top with remaining potatoes. Drizzle with the cream.
