Humble turnips become genuinely craveable here, cubed and fried in shortening until browned and caramelized, then seasoned and finished with crispy bacon bits. The salty pork cuts the earthy sweetness of the root for a side dish that wins over even turnip skeptics. It's rustic, budget-friendly comfort food straight from the frying pan.
