Instructions: * Cut 1-inch thick and trimmed of excess fat
** quartered, or 2 medium potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
*** peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes

In a small bowl combine salt, thyme and pepper. Rub thyme mixture onto both sides of chops. In a 12-inch skillet brown chops in hot oil over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove chops from skillet.

Add cider and sherry to skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Return chops to skillet; add onions, potatoes, carrots and turnip. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 45 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. With a slotted spoon, transfer chops and vegetables to a serving platter, reserving the liquid in the skillet. Cover platter and keep warm.

For gravy, boil remaining liquid, uncovered, over medium-high heat until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 8 minutes. In a small bowl slowly stir half-and-half into flour and nutmeg; add to reduced liquid, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Pass gravy with chops and vegetables.
