Ingredients

2 medium turnips (about 10 ounces total), peeled, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 10-ounce package frozen brussels sprouts
1 10-ounce package frozen large lima beans
1/2 pound frozen baby carrots
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1 1/2 cups diced cooked ham
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup fresh white breadcrumbs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Boil turnips, brussels sprouts, lima beans and carrots in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain well; place in large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons butter and sage and mix to coat. Mix in ham and 3/4 cup cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetable mixture to prepared dish.

    Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and sauté until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over vegetables. Cover with foil.

    Step 3

    Bake vegetable gratin until heated through, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until topping browns, about 10 minutes longer.
