Did you know you can use turnips as a low carb alternative to potatoes? I didn’t either until recently. They make awesome fries, and thought,

gotta try them in my favorite breakfast skillet!
Turnips prepare and cook similar to potatoes. I seasoned it a lot like I would a pototato for breakfast.
Topped off with cumin, smoked paprika, salt pepper and some fresh thyme.
It’s a simple approach to a breakfast skillet and really hits that carb craving when you’re doing a low carb diet.
And yes, you guessed it, I’m back on keto. This year really threw me off and I like using this diet as a reset.
It helps drop the weight quickly, and is something easy for me to stick to without feeling like i’m starving myself.
Just starving myself of those beautiful carbs.
We’ll see each other again soon carbs…
These turnips crisp up like a potato, bite simliar to a potato, and beat using cauliflower for every carb replacement when you want to change it up.
