Pan Fired Turnips Recipe with Onions and Spinach

Pan fried turnips make a great low carb potato substitute for keto diets. Their earthy flavor combined with caramelized onions and lemon thyme transcend the mundane.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound turnips
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter ((or more olive oil))
• 1 sprig lemon thyme ((or regular))
• 2 tbsp scallions
• 1 cup fresh spinach (loosely packed)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Peel turnips and cut into quarters or into sixths, if large.
2. 2Place a large frying pan over medium heat. When hot add the olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Add the turnips when the oil shimmers.
3. 3Cook the turnips until browned on one side. Turn them over and add scallions and thyme to the pan. The turnips are ready when a fork piercing the thickest part slides easily through.
4. 4Add the spinach and butter to the pan, sautéing until the spinach wilts. Remove the thyme sprig.
