A half a cup of cream

A Tablespoon of Dijon mustard

And a tablespoon of chopped fresh sage leaves

Place the cover on pan for 3 minutes

Check after 3 minutes and serve

The turnips-peel and slice one large turnip

In a large sauté plan over medium heat melt a tablespoon of butter and a ¼ cup of olive oil
