Glazed Turnips

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

These make wonderful substitute for potatoes with a roast.

Yield: 6 servings, each with 12 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of fiber, for a total of 9 grams of usable carbs and 2 grams of protein.

 

INGREDIENTS 

  • 3 cups chopped turnips, cut into small chunks
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 1 teaspoon Splenda
  • 1/2 teaspoon liquid beef bouillon concentrate

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Steam or microwave the turnip chunks until tender (I steam mine in the microwave for about 7 minutes on High), then drain.
  2. Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the turnips and onion, and saute until the onion is limp.
  3. Stir in the Splenda, bouillon concentrate, and paprika, coating all the turnips, and saute for just another minute or two.
