Turkey Asparagus Bake

Okay, I promised you more Thanksgiving leftover recipes so here is another one. This one is possibly my favorite one. Do not forget to keep checking for more.


The Sauce
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion diced
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup turkey broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
In a medium sauce pan heat butter and onions until the onions are translucent. Add the flour and continue to cook until the flour is well blended and bubbly. Then add in the broth, milk, and mustard. Continue to cook the mixture until it thickens a little and is bubbly. The mixture can then be taken off the heat and set aside.


Turkey Asparagus Bake


Now you can assemble the dish. If you want to be fancy you can wrap the leftover turkey breast around bundles on asparagus. I could care less about that so I just layer it all. In a 9x13 baking dish layer asparagus and then turkey at the bottom of the pan. You can then pour the sauce over the top and bake in the oven with foil over the top at 375 for about 30 minutes.

Sometimes I change the recipe around and add a layer of mushrooms before the turkey. I have also been known to sprinkle some swiss cheese over the top at the end and bake another few minutes uncovered until the cheese gets bubbly. I am sure that you could come up with some new ideas too.
