Chef's pro tip
A common mistake with this keto breakfast hash is undercooking the turnips. They should be tender, not crunchy, for the best texture. To ensure this, add the turnips first and give them a head start before the rest of the veggies. Also, if you want to up the protein and fiber content, consider adding a can of black soybeans - they're keto-friendly and a great source of both!

This is delicious. When do you add the cheese? During cooking or as a garnish?
