Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey breast, sliced
- 2 cups cooked ham, sliced
- 1.5 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.75 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Layer the turkey slices evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, followed by a layer of ham slices. Sprinkle half of the shredded Swiss cheese over the layers.
In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, until the mixture becomes bubbly and golden.
Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour the sauce evenly over the turkey, ham, and cheese layers in the baking dish.
Top the dish with the remaining shredded Swiss cheese, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top layer of cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dish is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Allow the bake to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
