There are plenty of threads to answer your vague question.... But you have to be completely stock first.

So to be more specific, would I have to flash a stock recover, lose root and upgrade. Then root and flash twrp again?

That's right.

How about just flashing the OTA zip file in TWRP? That way you wouldn't lose data, right?

Could I upgrade to the latest twrp and is there a zip to flash?

Assuming you are on Android 5 (Lollipop) then things have changed and you need to use fastboot from a PC to install TWRP 2.8.1.0
That worked for me as I just upgraded my Nexus 5 with my Nexus 10 next on the list. Of note is that you need to root your device BEFORE installing TWRP due to some Android 5 specific changes. Chainfire's root fixes that issue with custom recoveries.

For example on my linux PC:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-xxxxxxx.img

All I did is flash the original 5.0 Lollipop release, then fastboot flashed TWRP and CFAR to get back root and done. Running the stock rom with TWRP and Root with no problems. I actually find this setup to run smother than the few ROMs that were created with options in them.
