The humble turnip. It's a much loathed vegetable. Yet, like other underdogs of the vegetable world, it is deeply rich in nutrients. Turnips are an especially good source of Vitamin C, manganese, copper and phosphorus and also contain good amounts of B vitamins.
An added benefit of turnips is that they are relatively inexpensive by comparison to the better loved vegetables like sugar snap peas and haricots vertes. For example, this dish which incorporates the simplest of ingredients (turnips, ghee, bone broth and parsley) costs approximately $0.77 per serving.

I made this at my family's Thanksgiving this year, substituting the coconut oil and veggie broth, and was told that it should be a family tradition. (I also made your butternut squash & cinnamon, which was equally appreciated!) Thank you so much... I love your blog, and your attitude toward nourishment in general. 🙂

Debbie - I bet coconut oil and a good quality veggie broth would work super well as replacements.

I love turnips! I'll have to veganize your recipe and give it a try, it looks fabulous.
