Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized turnips
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
• 2 green onions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Scrub the turnips clean under cold running water, then dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Prick the turnips all over with a fork, then rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Place the turnips directly on the oven rack and roast for 30-35 minutes or until they are tender and the skin is crisp.

Step 5

Remove the turnips from the oven and let them cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 6

Slice the turnips in half lengthwise and gently scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a small border attached to the skin for structure. Place the scooped-out flesh in a mixing bowl.

Step 7

Add butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese to the bowl with the turnip flesh. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Stir in half of the cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles (reserve some for garnish), and half of the green onions. Mix until well combined.

Step 9

Spoon the mixture back into the turnip shells, mounding slightly over the top.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of each stuffed turnip.

Step 11

Place the stuffed turnips on a baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 12

Remove from oven and garnish with reserved bacon crumbles and green onions.

Step 13

Serve hot and enjoy your low carb cheesy stuffed turnips!
