Scalloped Turkey

Try making this turkey dish with your Thanksgiving leftovers.

The earliest scalloped dishes featured poultry, meat or vegetables baked with bread or cracker crumbs. Later, bread cubes and stuffing mix became popular.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes

You Will Need
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups home-style white or whole-wheat bread cubes
1 1/2 cups lower-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups chopped cooked turkey breast or chicken breast
1 jar (2 1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained

What to Do
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, onion powder, garlic powder, poultry seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the butter mixture. Spread the mixture in a large shallow baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until the bread cubes are toasted, stirring often. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.

2. Meanwhile, in a medium-size saucepan, whisk together the broth, flour, marjoram, salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook over moderate heat, whisking constantly, until mixture starts to thicken. Cook and whisk for 2 minutes more or until thickened. In a small bowl, slowly stir about 1/2 cup of the chicken broth mixture into the eggs, then return this mixture to the saucepan. Cook, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes or until mixture is thickened (do not boil).

3. Spread half of the bread cubes in a lightly greased 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish. Top with the turkey and mushrooms, then with the remaining bread cubes. Pour chicken broth mixture over all. Bake covered for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5 minutes more or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean.
