PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

MASHED TURNIPS

Boil until tender, then mash with *Butter, cream, and garlic. Add Cream Cheese* for extra richness—an excellent potato alternative.

ROASTED

Cube and roast at *425°F (220°C) with Olive Oil*, salt, and herbs for 30–35 minutes until golden and caramelized.

TURNIP FRIES

Cut into fries, toss with oil and seasonings, then bake or air fry until crispy—much lower in carbs than potato fries.

IN SOUPS AND STEWS

Cube and add to keto soups and stews with *Bone Broth*—they absorb flavors well and add heartiness.
