Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Peel the turnips and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer is ideal for this task.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the heavy cream, salt, ground black pepper, and nutmeg to the saucepan. Stir well and heat the mixture gently until it is warm. Do not let it boil.
Grease a baking dish with a little butter. Layer half of the sliced turnips in the dish.
Pour half of the cream mixture over the turnip layer, and sprinkle half of the Gruyère cheese on top.
Add the remaining turnips in another layer, pour over the remaining cream mixture, and sprinkle with the rest of the Gruyère cheese.
Top with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the turnips are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let the gratin rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
