Turnip stir-fry

Here is a very simple and quick turnip recipe. I used the basic recipe that we use for potato. Turnips are a good replacement because of their nutritious value and ease with which they can be prepared. Turnip is a low carb root vegetable that gives the feel of a potato.They have lots of Vitamin C and a great alternative for potato.

Turnips don't smell great, just like radish does. To prepare, peel them like you would do a potato. If they are young, just scrape them with a knife. Turnips are usually best when used to make broth, especially while making chicken broth, they absorb a lot of fat in the dish.

Now coming back to the stir fry, I was very much pleased with how it turned out and goes very well with bread too. So there you have it. A good alternative for potatoes and you dont have to worry about the extra carbs. Try this low carb potato substitute and your waistline will thank you.
