Low Carb Fresh from the Garden Swiss Chard & Turnip Pie
In recent years Swiss Chard has become a favourite of mine. Swiss Chard makes the perfect addition to a keto diet because it is packed with vitamins A, E, & K + it is high in magnesium, potassium, iron, & fibre. I have been growing Rainbow Chard in my garden for a couple of years now and this year it came early and in full force which gave me the perfect excuse to adapt my favourite 'Potato Chard Pie' into this healthy low carb turnip version.
This recipe is super easy and is sure to impress. You can easily make a large batch for a delicious filling meal or make a smaller portion for a side dish to accompany any main dish. You can also change and adjust this recipe if you find yourself making it a lot so you don't get sick of it (sometimes I like to add layers of onion or spinach). This dish is layered so it does take a little extra prep time but it is so worth it.
note: Your're cooking time can depend on the thickness of your turnips and the size of your dish. This recipe can easily be made into larger or smaller batches so you will want to calculate your macros accordingly. + I always recommend calculating your own macros as they can change by brand.

- Set oven to 350 degrees.

- Layer turnip, salt & pepper, swiss chard, turnip, shredded cheese (1 part/50g), turnip, salt & pepper, swiss chard, turnip, swiss cheese, turnip, salt & pepper, swiss chard, turnip, shredded cheese (1 part), turnip, & top with remaining cheese & parmesan (I know this step can seem overwhelming but you're just doing alternate layers and ensuring you end every layer with more turnip to start the next.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes
- Remove from oven, uncover, and bake for another 45 minutes
- Serve & enjoy! I love serving this with a fresh vegetable like tomato or cucumber slices
