This is a recipe I obtained from an Estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Manes Estate in Venus, Texas in 1981.

Ingredients

Method

1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the frozen broccoli in a baking dish and set aside.
2
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then whisk in flour to create a roux, stirring constantly until it turns light golden.
2 minutes
3
Pour the boiling water into the roux while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps from forming. Add the chicken bouillon cubes and stir until fully dissolved.
4
Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and nutmeg, mixing until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
2 minutes
5
Remove from heat and fold in ¼ cup of the grated Parmesan cheese, reserving the remaining ¼ cup for topping.
6
Distribute the chipped smoked turkey breast evenly over the frozen broccoli in the baking dish.
7
Pour the prepared sauce over the turkey and broccoli, stirring gently to coat all ingredients.
8
Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese over the top of the casserole.
9
Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and the mixture is bubbling at the edges.
23 minutes
10
Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
