Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
-
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the sauce, stirring to combine well.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey and cheddar cheese. Pour the creamy sauce over the turkey and cheese mixture, then gently fold everything together until well coated.
-
Pour the turkey and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole, creating a crispy, golden topping.
-
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
-
Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve the Hot Turkey and Cheddar Casserole hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
