One-Pan Turkey Encore
A comforting one-pan dish combining turkey, broccoli, cheese, and a savory Bisquick topping, perfect for quick family dinners or meal prep with hearty flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Arrange broccoli crosswise in a rectangular dish (11 x 7 x 1 1/2-inch).
- Mix Bisquick, milk, egg, and cream of mushroom soup; beat 30 strokes with a wire whisk.
- Pour the mixture over the broccoli in the center of the dish.
- Sprinkle with cooked turkey or chicken, shredded Swiss cheese, and diced pimentos.
- Bake until the center is almost set, about 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a touch of sour cream or cream cheese to the mixture. If you're out of Swiss cheese, Gruyère or mozzarella would work well as substitutes. Ensure the broccoli is well-drained to prevent excess moisture. This dish can be varied by mixing in different vegetables or swapping turkey for cooked chicken, as seen in other chicken recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty dish with a simple green salad or crusty bread for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Tender Baked Chicken for a comforting family dinner. For a lighter option, consider a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh fruit salad to balance the richness of the casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply place in the microwave or bake in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. If reheating in the oven, cover with foil to prevent the top from over-browning.
