Total Time: 25 mins
Ingredients
  • 1 lb turnips
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter ((or more olive oil))
  • 1 sprig lemon thyme ((can use regular instead))
  • 2 tbsp scallions
  • 1 cup turnip greens or fresh spinach ((loosely packed))
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
  1. Peel turnips and cut into quarters or into sixths, if large.
  2. Place a large frying pan over medium heat. When hot add the olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Add the turnips when the oil shimmers.
  3. Cook the turnips until browned on one side. Turn them over and add scallions and thyme to the pan. The turnips are ready when a fork piercing the thickest part slides easily through.
  4. Add the turnip greens or spinach and butter to the pan, sautéing until the spinach wilts. Remove the thyme sprig.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, taste to adjust seasoning, and serve.
