Turnips Fried With Bacon

Sooz Cooks's Note:

Always in search of low carb side dishes, I threw this together one night for dinner. Also works well for breakfast with eggs and bacon or sausage or ham.

My cousin gave us a bunch of turnips from a field he was going to plow up. Although I have never been a fan of turnips, I am frugal, and looked for simple recipes for them, hoping my taste had changed a little toward turnips since the childhood trauma of having to eat them. Since I had the simple ingredients for this recipe, I decided to make it right away to see if I could eat it. YES! I could! My husband, who is also not a turnip fan, has not come in for lunch yet, but but I am hopeful that when he tries this, he will be as happy with this delicious dish as I am! THANKS, Sooz!
