Description

This creamy turkey Divan casserole is a great way to use up leftover turkey and broccoli for a comforting post-Thanksgiving meal.

Ingredients

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen broccoli spears
1/4 cup margarine
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons white wine
3 cups cooked turkey breast, sliced
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Place broccoli in a saucepan with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3 Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in flour, salt, and pepper and mix well. Pour in chicken broth; cook and stir until sauce thickens and bubbles, about 10 minutes. Add cream and wine; stir until well-combined.
4 Arrange broccoli on the bottom of a 7x12-inch baking dish. Pour half of the sauce over the broccoli. Top sauce with sliced turkey.
5 Stir Monterey Jack cheese into the remaining sauce in the saucepan. Pour cheese sauce over the turkey.
6 Bake casserole in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 20 minutes. Broil until cheese sauce is golden, about 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
