Turkey & Broccoli Casserole
They were relatively inexpensive, and with five children, they made great sense economically. I always had lots of things that I could do with a turkey and it’s leftovers aside from roasting them.
Soups, casseroles, sandwiches . . . there was no end to my creativity. Of course with just two of us now in our home, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to buy a whole turkey other than during the holidays. We just wouldn’t get through it fast enough and over here, roast turkey’s are really expensive!
You can get turkey breasts without the bone to roast relatively cheaply however, and turkey fillets, so I often avail myself of them and will cook one for us to use in sandwiches and casseroles. This recipe is usually how I roast it. It turns out perfect every time.
Turkey & Broccoli Casserole
ingredients:
- 400g of broccoli florets, broken (a large crown)
- 2 TBS butter, divided
- 1 medium onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 350g of cooked turkey breast, cubed (about 3 cups)
- 100g sour cream (scant cup)
- 200ml of chicken stock (7 fluid ounces)
- 25g of fresh bread crumbs, coarse (1 ounce)
- pinch of garlic powder and mixed herbs
- 60g of grated strong cheddar cheese (1/2 cup)
- First make the crumb topping. Melt 1 TBS butter in a skillet, add the breadcrumbs. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in a pinch of garlic powder and the mixed herbs. Cook, stirring until they crisp up a bit. Cool and then stir in the grated cheese. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 200*C/400*F/ gas mark 6. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the broccoli and then cook until just crispy tender. Drain well and rinse in cold water to prevent cooking further. Drain again.
- Melt 1 TBS of the butter in a skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring over medium heat until the onion has softened without colouring. Set aside.
- Layer the broccoli, turkey, and onion in an oven proof dish. Season lightly with some salt and pepper. Mix together the sour cream and stock. Pour this over all. Sprinkle the cheesy crumbs over top of the casserole dish. Place onto a baking sheet and then bake in the heated oven until golden brown and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot.
You can serve it with rice, or baked potatoes, mashed potatoes or as I did the other day some roast sweet potatoes. I just wash up some unpeeled sweet potatoes, prick them and roast them in a hot oven until soft. If you cut off one end, they just slip out of the skins very easily and they taste wonderful just as they are! This makes a great weeknight supper that everyone loves! Bon Appetit!
