Ok, no one tell my mom, but I’ve fallen in love with turnips. These little bobbles can be sautéed, grilled, blanched, roasted, or even eaten raw. For this recipe, we’ll braise them to let them soak up some extra flavours and make them nice and soft.

Not sure how you feel about turnips? To give you a little perspective, they have a texture somewhere between a cooked carrot and a potato, but with a little bite (like a radish). To keep the flavour of this recipe nice and light, make sure you use the smallest turnips you can find. Larger turnips are old and bitter and will overpower your seasonings.

Keep It FODMAP Friendly

These quick and easy low FODMAP braised turnips will make the holidays a breeze. Check out the notes below for tips on keeping this recipe FODMAP friendly.

First, the star of this recipe is baby turnips. According to Monash University, turnips are safe in servings of up to 1 cup per sitting (75 g). Servings of 1.5 cups or more are high in both fructose and galactooligosaccharides.

This recipe uses 1 lb of turnips. This works out to 56.8 grams per serving. This is within Monash’s recommended range.

Next up, butter. Even though butter is a dairy product, according to Monash University, butter doesn’t have any FODMAPs (because it’s all fat). This means you can use whatever you have on hand.

We’ll also be using chicken broth. For my Canadian Peeps Campbell’s full sodium and low sodium chicken broths as well as GoBio’s chicken broth are all low FODMAP. Remember to check the ingredients regularly. Companies don’t always announce recipe changes to their customers, so what was safe before isn’t necessarily safe now.

If you can’t find a low FODMAP chicken broth at your local store, try Fody Food Co.’s low FODMAP chicken soup base.

Last but not least, green onions. According to Monash University, the green parts of a green onion don’t have any detectable FODMAPs. That means you can add as many as you want without adding to your FODMAP load. So feel free to experiment with how many you want to use.
