Begin by peeling and dicing the turnips into 1/2-inch cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain the turnips and set aside.
While the turnips are cooking, in a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Dice the yellow onion finely. Using the same skillet with the remaining bacon grease, add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, erythritol sweetener, and chicken broth. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the onions.
Bring the vinaigrette mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper.
Add the drained turnips to the skillet and gently toss them in the warm vinaigrette until well-coated.
Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the crumbled bacon.
Chop the green onions and sprinkle over the salad. Allow the salad to cool slightly before serving to enhance flavor absorption.
