Saw this in the latest Health magazine but modified it to be healthier. I'll post the original & modified versions. It was very yummy!
Original:
1-1/2 lbs broccoli crowns, cut into long spears
3 cups turkey, warmed
2 tblsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 cup pre-sliced mushrooms
3 tblsp all purpose flour
1-1/2 cups broth, heated
2 tblsp dry sherry
3 tblsp heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan, divided
1/4 cup sliced almonds
In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook broccoli about 5 minutes or until tender, drain. Butter a 9x13x2 inch baking dish, arrange broccoli spears across the bottom. Top with turkey, cover with foil to keep warm.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Saute onions and mushrooms until golden brown (add a little broth if mixture seems dry). Add flour & cook stirring 1 minute. Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until thick. Stir in sherry & cook 1 minute. Add cream & 1/4 cup parmesan, simmer 1 minute. Season to taste with salt & pepper, remove from heat.
Preheat broiler to high. Pour sauce over turkey. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and almonds. Broil for 1 minute or until the sauce bubbles and the almonds are golden brown.
Per serving (about 1-1/2 cups): 320 cals, 18g fat (8g sat, 6g mono, 3g poly) 83mg cholesterol, 28g protein, 12g carbs, 4g fiber, 3mg iron, 238mg sodium, 184mg calcium.
My version:
10 oz cooked turkey shredded or cut into pieces
1 can mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 bag frozen broccoli (no need to thaw)
1/4 - 1/2 onion chopped
1 tblsp flour
1/2 can vegetable broth
1/4 to 1/2 cup skim milk
Flavored bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray. Pour frozen broccoli, peas & drained mushrooms into pan. Top with turkey and pepper to taste. Cook onion in pan with cooking spray till soft -- use cooking spray liberally!! Sprinkle with flour to make a roux. Add broth, stirring till thick. Add milk & simmer for 1-2 minutes. Mixture should be soupy, pour over turkey mixture. Top with breadcrumbs & bake 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown.
Now, I'm not sure of the calorie count, etc on this but it's gotta be better than the original!! You could still top with the almonds for some healthy fats. Very yummy!!!!!
