Living Low-Carb, by Fran McCullough
Recipe Introduction
The turnips become very tender and this is almost like scalloped
potatoes
List of Ingredients
2 lbs turnips -- peeled and thinly sliced
6 ounces bacon -- fried, 2 tbsp drippings reserved
2 pkts Splenda - Packets -- or other sweetener to equal
2
tsp sugar
Tabasco to taste
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs -- (optional - choose a low
carb
substitute)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole
dish.
Place turnips in a large saucepan with water to cover, bacon grease and
sweetener. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to moderate, simmer till
tender, about 20 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in a dash of Tabasco.
Meanwhile, combine broth and heavy cream in a medium-size saucepan,
bring to a low boil over moderate heat. Cook till slightly thickened,
about 20 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer turnips to prepared casserole and crumble
bacon on top. Pour cream mixture over top. Season with salt and pepper
(I add some garlic powder too). Spread low card bread crumbs evenly
over the top and bake till golden brown, about 30 minutes (we completely
skip these). Serve hot.
