For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the butter slightly before adding the flour to create a nutty depth. A pinch of nutmeg can also add warmth and complexity to the cream sauce. Ensure the turnips are well-drained after each boiling stage to prevent a watery final dish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a saucepan, combine the diced turnip with enough water to fully submerge the pieces. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. (5 mins)
02
StepDrain the water completely and return the turnip to the saucepan. Add fresh water to cover the turnips, then stir in the sugar. Bring to a boil once more, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the turnip pieces are easily pierced with a fork. Drain well. (15 mins)
03
StepIn a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Gradually stir in the flour, creating a smooth roux. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens into a velvety sauce. (5 mins)
04
StepGently fold in the cooked turnips, ensuring each piece is coated in the creamy sauce. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately. (2 mins)
