Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large turnips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 cup Grated cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the turnips thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife, pierce each turnip several times all around to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Place the turnips on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake the turnips in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Cut a slit in the top of each turnip and gently squeeze to open them up slightly.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to each turnip, allowing it to melt inside.
Top each turnip with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of crumbled bacon.
Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb classic jacket turnips!
