VEGETABLE SIDE DISH: STUFFED TURNIPS(click here to print)

STUFFED TURNIPS
                          
1 pound  turnips -- (4 medium sized) - peeled, whole
1/4 cup  Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tbsp Colby jack cheese -- shredded
1/4 cup  mushrooms -- chopped fine
1/2 teaspoon  garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon  onion powder
 salt and pepper -- to taste
2 tablespoons  butter -- melted
Bacon pieces (optional)

In a saucepan, boil whole turnips for 30 minutes or until soft enough to easily scoop, (will vary with size of turnip). Remove from pan and let cool enough to handle. Preheat oven to 375F.

With a melon ball scoop, or a small spoon, very carefully scoop out the center of each turnip, being careful not to go through the sides or bottom, so you are left with a shell to fill. 

Place scoopings of turnip into a food processor, and process until it becomes small pieces (or chop by hand with a knife until very fine). Add this to a mixing bowl along with Parmesan cheese, Colby jack cheese, mushrooms, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper.

Mix together well and fill each turnip. You'll have a lot of filling so just fit it in each one even overflowing, as best you can.  Top with bacon pieces if desired (optional). Drizzle melted butter over each turnip. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until lightly browned on top.  4 servings; 7 g. carbs
