Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked turkey breast, shredded
• 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil.

Step 2

Blanch the broccoli florets by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 5

Stir in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until melted and smooth.

Step 6

Spread half of the shredded turkey across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer with half of the blanched broccoli.

Step 7

Pour half of the cheese sauce evenly over the turkey and broccoli layers. Repeat with the remaining turkey, broccoli, and cheese sauce.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the dish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the gratin is bubbling around the edges.

Step 10

Let the gratin rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
