As turnips are making an appearance at the Farmer’s Market reach for these beauties instead of potatoes. They can be used in many potato recipes for a low carb and vitamin rich substitute. Just remember to peel them first! If you don’t want to use your turnips right away and are afraid of them going bad, just freeze and save for later!
My favorite way to use turnips is in place of French fries alongside a grilled venison burger. YUM
