Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cooked turkey (shredded or cubed)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2-3 minutes, until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to make a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
In the prepared baking dish, layer the blanched broccoli and cooked turkey evenly.
Pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli and turkey, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and olive oil. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
