Number Of Ingredients 15

1 bunch broccoli (1 1/2 pounds), cut into florets (about 5 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons melted
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 small onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk, room temperature
9 ounces shredded medium-sharp cheddar (3 cups)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup sour cream

Add 2 cups cheese, Dijon, Worcestershire, cayenne, and sour cream; stir until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Add cheese sauce to bowl with broccoli, followed by chicken and accumulated juices; toss to combine. Transfer to a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.

CLASSIC ROAST TURKEY



Classic Roast Turkey image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 12- to 14-pound turkey (thawed if frozen)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 onion, quartered
1 carrot, cut into chunks
1 stalk celery, cut into chunks
3 sprigs sage, plus 1 tablespoon chopped leaves
3 sprigs thyme, plus 1 tablespoon chopped leaves
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 teaspoons paprika
Classic Gravy, recipe follows
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
Turkey neck and giblets (liver discarded)
1 onion, quartered
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
3 sprigs thyme
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup dry white wine
8 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth, plus more as needed
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Turkey pan drippings
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Let the turkey sit at room temperature, 30 minutes. Position an oven rack in the lowest position (remove the other racks); preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey and set aside for the gravy. Pat the turkey very dry with paper towels and rub inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the onion, carrot, celery, and sage and thyme sprigs. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Put the turkey on a rack set in a large roasting pan and tuck the wings under the body.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat; whisk in the paprika and chopped sage and thyme. Let the paprika butter cool slightly, then brush all over the turkey. Transfer to the oven and roast 1 hour. Meanwhile, make Classic Gravy.
  • After the turkey has roasted 1 hour, baste with the drippings. Continue roasting, basting every 30 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 2 more hours.
  • Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest 30 minutes before carving; reserve the drippings for the gravy.
  • Prepare the stock: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the turkey neck and giblets; cook, turning, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, carrot, celery, thyme and bay leaves; stir to coat. Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, reduce the heat to low and simmer about 1 hour. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup; reserve the saucepan. You should have 7 cups stock-if you're short, add more broth.
  • Melt the remaining 8 tablespoons butter in the reserved saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the 7 cups stock; bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside until the turkey is done.
  • Pour the turkey pan drippings into a fat separator and let stand until the fat rises to the top. Discard the fat (or drizzle on your stuffing). Whisk the defatted drippings into the gravy; season with salt and pepper. Reheat before serving.

CHICKEN DIVAN (OR TURKEY DIVAN)



Chicken Divan (Or Turkey Divan) image

There are a few similar recipes on Zaar to this one, but none exactly the same. This is the one that my mom served when I was a child. The only change I have made is to use broccoli florets instead of frozen spears, which are difficult to cut when serving this up. I've also made this without the broccoli in a smaller dish. My mom always made this recipe with the chicken created when making chicken stock. Feel free to substitute cooked leftover turkey in place of the chicken.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, free-range turkey, creamy white sauce, crisp broccoli, and sharp cheddar cheese to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Cook the Turkey Properly: Roast or bake the turkey breast until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's cooked through and juicy.
  • Make a Creamy White Sauce: Use a roux (equal parts butter and flour) as the base and gradually whisk in milk or cream to create a smooth, velvety sauce.
  • Steam the Broccoli: Steaming preserves the broccoli's vibrant green color, tender-crisp texture, and nutrients better than boiling.
  • Use Sharp Cheddar Cheese: The sharper the cheddar, the more flavorful the casserole will be. Grating your own cheese ensures a better melt and flavor distribution.
  • Assemble Carefully: Layer the cooked turkey, white sauce, broccoli, and cheese in a baking dish, ensuring even distribution for a cohesive casserole.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the casserole in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown, indicating a perfectly cooked and flavorful dish.
