Clean the turnips, cut off the tails, and trim the stems, leaving 1/4 inch of the stems. Cut small turnips in halves or quarters; if they're larger, cut them in half and then into 1/2-inch wedges.

Divide the carrots, parsnips, and turnips between the pans and season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the thyme. Cook 10 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables just start to caramelize.
