Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked turkey
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken or turkey stock
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam the broccoli florets until they are bright green and just tender. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or turkey stock and milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, about 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, layer the steamed broccoli and cooked turkey.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the turkey and broccoli, spreading it to cover the entire dish.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Thanksgiving Leftover Turkey Divan!
