Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked turkey breast, shredded
- 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil.
Blanch the broccoli florets by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until melted and smooth.
Spread half of the shredded turkey across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer with half of the blanched broccoli.
Pour half of the cheese sauce evenly over the turkey and broccoli layers. Repeat with the remaining turkey, broccoli, and cheese sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the gratin is bubbling around the edges.
Let the gratin rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
