Turnip the Disco Fries
- 2 medium-sized turnips (about 12 ounces each), scrubbed clean
- 1 medium-sized potato (about 12 ounces), scrubbed clean
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup jarred fat-free or nearly fat-free chicken gravy
- 3 slices fat-free American cheese, torn into strips
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives, for optional garnish
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Carefully cut turnips and potato into French-fry-shaped spears using a crinkle cutter if you have one.
- Place them in a single layer on the baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
- If needed, use another baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray.
- Bake in the oven until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, about 30 minutes, carefully flipping spears about halfway through.
- (The thicker the spears, the longer the bake time.)
- In a small nonstick pot on the stove, heat gravy over a low temperature until hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Once cool enough to handle, transfer fries to a microwave-safe plate.
- Evenly top with strips of cheese.
- Microwave just until cheese has melted, about 30 seconds.
- Garnish with chives, if you like, and set aside.
- Give gravy a stir and serve alongside cheese fries.
- Enjoy!
