Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket or microwave until just tender, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth. Cook and whisk until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Layer the cooked turkey and steamed broccoli evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the cheese sauce over the turkey and broccoli mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
