 Ingredients

• 2 large turnips (about 2 lbs), peeled and cubed
• 1 whole head garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• sea salt and black pepper, to taste
• ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 lb ground chorizo
• 4-6 tablespoon butter
• ¾ cup heavy cream (Want to make it paleo? Sub chicken stock!)
• 1 tablespoon fresh Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°
• In a large mixing bowl, combine turnips, garlic cloves, avocado oil, sea salt, pepper and dried thyme. Toss until turnips are evenly coated with avocado oil and seasoning.
• While the turnips and garlic are roasting, saute the ground chorizo over medium high heat until it is cooked all the way through. Set aside.
• Pour turnips onto a rimmed baking sheet and spread out in a single layer. Bake 30-40 minutes or until turnips are tender and garlic is caramelized and slightly crispy.
• In a food processor, combine roasted turnips, butter, heavy cream and parsley. Pulse until it reaches a smooth, creamy texture.
• Spoon mixture into a large serving bowl and top with chorizo.
