This recipe has been a family favorite for years. It has been passed down from my Grandmother and has since been requested every Thanksgiving holiday.
Ingredients
- 1 large turnip, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.
