Directions

  1. Place the turnip in a saucepan with enough water to cover the cubes, place the saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 5 minutes, drain water and return turnip to saucepan.

  2. Return the saucepan to medium heat. Pour enough fresh water over the turnips to cover, add the sugar. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until turnip pieces are fork tender, drain.

  3. Melt the butter in a separate saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir the flour into the butter to make a roux. Whisk in the milk until the mixture thickens. Add the turnips and stir gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
