Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or cubed
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.75 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Remove from heat.
Spread the blanched broccoli evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, followed by an even layer of the cooked turkey.
Pour the cheese sauce over the turkey and broccoli, making sure it is evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Allow the Turkey Divan to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
