Earthy, buttery, and full of rustic charm, these Pan-Fried Turnips with Onions and Spinach make a deliciously simple side dish that celebrates seasonal produce. Tender turnips are seared until golden, then finished with fresh spinach, scallions, and a hint of lemon thyme for a subtle herbal brightness. A touch of butter adds richness, while salt and pepper bring everything into balance. It’s a warm, savory way to enjoy hearty greens and root vegetables in one pan.
