1 cup low-sodium broth (any type)

1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice

Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the liquid evaporates and the turnips are tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes

Try any vegetable oil instead of margarine or butter.
Try other seasonings such as thyme or oregano.
