Preparation

1. 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.
2. Meanwhile, blanch and drain the orange peel.
3. 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.
