Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 8 oz Chopped Mushrooms Adds savory depth and texture; substitute with fresh or canned mushrooms if desired.
  • 16 oz Frozen Broccoli Florets Offers vibrant color and essential nutrients; fresh broccoli can also be used.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Used for sautéing vegetables, enhancing flavor; butter or another cooking oil works if you’re out of olive oil.
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic Provides aroma and flavor; fresh is best, but garlic powder will do in a pinch.
  • 3 cups Shredded Cooked Turkey The star ingredient for this Turkey Broccoli Casserole, perfect for using up leftovers; can swap with chicken.
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt Enhances all flavors; adjust to taste, especially if using salted cheese.
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper Adds warmth and enhances flavor; omit for a milder dish.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese Brings creaminess; choose any melting cheese variety like cheddar or mozzarella.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Creates a rich and creamy sauce; for a lighter version, use half-and-half or milk instead.
  • 2 tbsp Minced Parsley For garnish and added freshness; feel free to substitute with other herbs like thyme or basil.

Equipment

Step-by-Step Instructions for Turkey Broccoli Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 395°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and frozen broccoli florets, sauté for about 5 minutes until the broccoli is heated through and bright green.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Next, stir in your shredded cooked turkey, sea salt, black pepper, and minced parsley. Gradually pour in heavy cream and shredded cheese, mixing until the mixture simmers gently.
  5. Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with remaining shredded cheese.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with additional parsley before serving.
