💖 CREAMY BREADED TURNIPS | Best low carb substitute for mashed potatoes! 💖

Turnips may get a bad rap for being a bit bitter—some say they taste like a cross between cabbage and radish. Unless you have a turnip lover in your family it’s also possible that you’ve never experienced a truly great preparation of this root vegetable. However turnips are absolutely delicious when cooked properly.

This recipe purees turnips with butter and a little sugar for a rich side dish with an unexpected sweetness. The sugar helps counteract the bitterness and this recipe is enough to convert any turnip skeptics in your family. Don't forget the salt and pepper—when you have a dish this simple those spices become even more important.

These mashed turnips make an excellent side dish and a great alternative to mashed potatoes especially in the winter when the root vegetable is at its best. Serve with chicken or pork dishes and a salad for a balanced dinner.
