Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless turkey breast cut into strips
  • 1 bunch broccoli or 2 broccoli crowns
  • 10 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 cup onion divided
  • 8 ounces mushrooms quartered
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 cups turkey stock or chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pinch cayenne
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded

for the topping

  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 10x10-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Season the turkey strips with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat and brown the turkey for 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.
  • Boil salted water and blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt 6 tablespoons of butter and sauté onions and mushrooms for about 5 minutes until soft. Turn off the heat.
  • Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the turkey stock, followed by the milk and cream. Stir in mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne, cooking until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, mix the turkey, broccoli, and sauce. Transfer to the baking dish.
  • n a small bowl, mix grated Parmesan, melted butter, and panko. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • The turkey will finish cooking in the oven, so it’s okay if it’s not fully cooked after browning.
  • Avoid overcooking the broccoli to keep it from becoming mushy in the oven.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for the smoothest, creamiest sauce.
  • If the casserole browns too quickly, cover it with foil. If it’s not browning enough, place it under the broiler for a couple of minutes.
  • For a twist, try using gruyere cheese instead of cheddar.
