Preheat oven to bake at 425.

Toss with melted bacon grease.
Sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring every so often to ensure even cooking.
After 30 minutes turn heat down to 350, move turnips to a lower rack, and place bacon in the oven to bake on a wire rack over a cookie sheet.
Remove turnips after bacon has baked for about 10-15 minutes, however check to ensure that the turnips are not burning.
Once bacon is crisp (about 25-30 minutes), remove and chop bacon, and place on the turnips.
