Steps:
- Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Butter an 8-by-8-by-2-inch baking dish or an 8-cup gratin dish.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and nutmeg and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the white sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with pepper. Remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, bring about 1-inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan and set up a collapsible steamer on top. Put the broccoli in the steamer and season with salt. Cover, and steam until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Put the broccoli in the prepared dish, sprinkle with half of the cheese and pour on the sauce. Cover with the remaining cheese.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Cover the gratin with the bread crumbs. Bake until lightly browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

BLISSED-OUT CRISPY CHEESY BROCCOLI GRATIN
Limited surface area. This is the problem with a broccoli gratin made in a casserole-style baking dish, meaning the ratio of crispy-cheesy-crumb-y topping to soft, tender broccoli is just way under optimal balance. With a sheet pan, however, every single morsel of broccoli gets an ample coating of crunch. You know what else is awesome? With a preheated sheet pan (see note), the time it takes to roast the broccoli is minimal-I'm talking 15 minutes, tops, for caramelized edges and florets. Meaning you can hit broccoli bliss in under 20 minutes. Are you in?

Steps:
- Adjust one oven rack to the upper-middle position and another rack to the position. Place a rimmed sheet pan on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil and salt in a medium-size bowl. Turn the broccoli out onto the hot sheet pan (it should sizzle!) and roast until the bottom of the florets are nicely browned, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the butter and garlic in a ramekin and place it in the oven until the butter melts, 5 minutes. (Alternatively, combine them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power in 15-second increments, swirling between each, until the butter melts, 45 seconds to 1 minute.)
- Place the bread crumbs in a medium-size bowl, add the butter-garlic mixture, and toss with a fork. Add the Cheddar and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses and toss to combine.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the broccoli with the cheesy bread crumb mixture. Turn the broiler to high and place the sheet pan on the upper rack. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned, 1 to 2 minutes (watch the bread crumbs closely as broiler intensities vary and you don't want them to burn). Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter-making sure to scrape up all of the crispy, crunchy cheesy bits-and serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish, so be sure to use fresh, high-quality turkey, broccoli, and cheese.
- Don't overcook the turkey. Turkey can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked, so be careful not to cook it for too long. A good way to check if the turkey is cooked through is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good choices include cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. For example, you could add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or even some cooked bacon.
Conclusion:
Layered Turkey and Broccoli Gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving or Christmas. With its creamy sauce, tender turkey, and crispy cheese topping, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
