INGREDIENTS FOR THE CASSEROLE
– Turkey
– Cooked rice
– Broccoli
– Kosher salt
– Black pepper
– Butter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
STEP 1: PREP THE OVEN AND PAN
STEP 2: TOAST THE PANKO
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the panko and cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Set aside.
STEP 3: STEAM THE BROCCOLI
Add water to a large pan and bring to a simmer. Add the broccoli, cover, and steam for a few minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and season with salt and pepper.
STEP 4: MAKE THE CHEESE SAUCE
In a saucepan whisk butter, oil, and flour together. Add broth and milk. Add remaining sauce ingredients and simmer for 5-10 mins. Stir in cheeses and whisk in sour cream.
STEP 5: COMBINE THE FILLING
Add the cooked turkey and steamed broccoli to the sauce and stir until everything is evenly coated.
STEP 6: ASSEMBLE THE CASSEROLE
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese, then sprinkle the toasted panko evenly over the top.
STEP 7: BAKE
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, until bubbly and lightly golden.
STEP 8: REST AND SERVE
Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving. Spoon generously over warm cooked rice and enjoy.
