Instructions

    • 1

      Cut the broccoli up into bite-sized pieces and steam it until soft.

    • 2

      Cover the bottom of a casserole dish with the steamed broccoli. This is where you get to choose how healthy this dish is - a thin layer is a token stab at healthfulness, where a couple inches starts to really mean something.

    • 3

      Cover the broccoli with a layer of leftover turkey, cut into bite-sized pieces. Either white or dark meat will do.

    • 4

      Melt the butter into a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and mix well. Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly.

    • 5

      Add a cup or two of grated swiss cheese to the sauce. Here's another opportunity to choose your desired level of healthfulness - a lot of cheese will be tasty, but rich!

    • 6

      (Optional) Add the wine to the sauce.

    • 7

      Add salt and pepper to the sauce to taste.

    • 8

      Pour the sauce over the turkey. Top with a sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese.

    • 9

      Bake in a 325 degree oven for about 15 minutes - until the cheese on top is melted.
