Turkey & Broccoli Strata
Leftover turkey and bread are transformed into a custardy, savory strata.
Ingredients
- 1 small-medium head broccoli, finely chopped use the stems!
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 small onion sliced into half-moons
- 1 stalk celery, sliced
- 3 cups cubed turkey breast or chicken
- 4 cups cubed bread I used most of a loaf of garlic-infused bread
- 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning or Italian seasoning or Herbes de Provence
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 6 eggs
Instructions
This is not an overnight strata! Please prepare this when you want to serve it.
- Preheat oven to 350. Oil a 9x13 inch pan and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, saute the broccoli, garlic, onion and celery until the onions are soft and translucent. Remove from heat and stir in the turkey and bread. Scrape into the prepared pan and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the pieces, milk, and egg until well combined. Stir in the cheese. Pour over the bread and turkey mixture. Toss to evenly distribute all ingredients and smooth to form a fairly uniform layer.
- Allow the dish to rest 20 minutes.
- Bake 30 minutes or until browned a bubbly. Allow to sit 3-5 minutes prior to slicing.
Notes
- Cooked chicken works just as well as turkey!
- Any soft-ish bread should work! For best results do not use very dried-out or stale bread.
