This Phase 1 Herbed Mussels and Turnip Fries Recipe Sizzles for Summer!

SERVES 1 | READY IN 25 MINUTES

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Toss turnips well with salt and olive oil. Cook in the air fryer for 15 min, shaking halfway through.

Meanwhile, heat chicken stock in a pot over medium heat, covering it with a lid. Once broth comes to a boil, add mussels and garlic and close with a lid. Shake the pot gently occasionally. Cook for 3-5 min or until all the mussels have opened.

Set mussels aside out of the chicken broth with a slotted spoon onto a serving plate or bowl. Garnish with parsley leaves. Serve alongside turnips fries, and use lemon wedges to freshen up the flavor of the mussels as you eat.
