Description

This Turkey Broccoli Casserole is the ultimate comfort food for busy weeknights. It combines leftover cooked turkey with tender frozen broccoli florets, bound together by a creamy, savory mushroom soup mixture. The result is a hearty, protein-packed main that feels indulgent yet simple to prepare. The creamy sauce coats every bite, while the broccoli adds a fresh, vegetal crunch. Perfect for using up holiday leftovers or quick dinners, this dish brings home-style warmth to your table. Serve it hot with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Steam or boil the frozen broccoli florets according to package directions until tender-crisp; drain well.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and skim milk; stir until smooth.
  4. Add the cooked turkey and drained broccoli to the soup mixture; toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased 2-quart baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  8. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
