Lemon Roasted Turnips

Tried another recipe off the Andover Site.  Here is a link:  Lemon Roasted Turnips



These were really good.  The lemon sauce was super flavorful.  The only suggestion I have is to make sure they are done.  I checked 1 chunk and it was good but there were some others that weren't as well roasted.  I also broiled them on a Lo Broil for about 4-5 minutes to get them crispy on top.

This will definitely make a repeat appearance on the turnip rotation!

I paired it up with some pan seared pork cutlets (thin cut boneless pork chops).  I used a little Italian seasoning and sea salt on them and sauteed them in some grape seed oil.  The Italian flavor went really well with the lemon on the turnips.

The recipe is copied below for your convenience.
