Peel the turnips and cut them into evenly sized bite-sized pieces.
In a skillet or frying pan, heat the ghee over medium-high heat until it's fully melted and hot.
Add the chopped onions and saute until soft.
Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Add the diced turnips to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.
Allow the turnips to cook without stirring for a few minutes to develop a golden brown crust on one side.
After the turnips have browned on one side, sprinkle the smoked paprika evenly over them. Toss and stir the turnips to coat them with the smoked paprika.
Season the turnips with salt and pepper to taste.
Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the turnips are tender and have absorbed the smoky paprika flavor. This should take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the turnip pieces.
Taste a piece of turnip to check for seasoning. Add more salt, pepper, or smoked paprika if desired.
Once the turnips are tender and flavorful, remove them from the pan and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives for an extra burst of flavor and a pop of color.
