Steps:
- Peel the turnip, then dice into bite size chunks. Place the turnips into a saucepan and fill with water until it barely reaches the top of the turnips. Bring to a boil then cover. Simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the turnips.
- Place the turnips into the saucepan again and add water until almost covering the turnips. Add the sugar and combine. Bring to a boil then cover. Simmer until the turnips are fork tender then drain all of the water except for a small amount on the bottom of the pan. Reserve the turnips.
- *Note: The reason for boiling the turnips for the second time is to get rid of the bitterness.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pan, melt the butter over medium/high heat then add the flour. Stir the mixture constantly to form a paste or roux. Add the milk and continue to stir with a whisk until the mixture thickens. Add the reserved turnips and combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- You may want to add a little extra milk as you may want a more thin consistency.
- ENJOY!

Tips:
- Choose the right turnips: Look for small, tender turnips with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid turnips that are large, woody, or have any signs of damage.
- Peel and cut the turnips evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to peel the turnips, and then cut them into 1-inch cubes or wedges.
- Cook the turnips until they are tender: This can be done by boiling, steaming, or roasting them. Boiling is the quickest method, but steaming or roasting will give the turnips a more flavorful result.
- Make the cream sauce: While the turnips are cooking, make the cream sauce. This is typically done by melting butter in a saucepan, then adding flour and milk. Cook the sauce until it is thickened and creamy.
- Combine the turnips and cream sauce: Once the turnips are cooked and the cream sauce is ready, combine them in a saucepan. Stir until the turnips are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Common seasonings for creamed turnips include nutmeg, thyme, and parsley.
- Serve immediately: Creamed turnips are best served immediately after they are made. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
Creamed turnips are a classic comfort food that is perfect for a holiday meal or a weeknight dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
