Before we hop into the recipe, let’s chat about turnips for a quick second.

What are turnips and what do they taste like?

Turnips are a cruciferous vegetable with a creamy white bottom and light purple top. Like most ground vegetables, their peak season is fall-spring. They’re crunchy and have a bland taste, like a cross between a carrot and a potato.

You can eat them cooked or raw, peeled, or unpeeled. You can basically cook them any way you’d cook a potato — baked, mashed, stir-fried, or in soups and stews.  Turnip greens are the same as mustard greens and taste delectable sautéed in butter or coconut oil with a little garlic, salt, and pepper.

Are turnips good for you?

Turnips are loaded with fiber and a variety of vitamins including vitamins A, C, E, K, B1, B3, B5, B6, B2, and folate, as well as minerals like manganese, potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, and copper.

They’re also a fair source of phosphorus and omega-3 fatty acids. Plus turnips are significantly lower in calories and carbs, which makes them a great snack option being on Keto.
