Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Amish Turkey Casserole Dish.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab an 8x8-inch casserole dish and give it a light coat of nonstick cooking spray to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 3
Next, heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once it’s melted and bubbling, toss in your chopped carrots, celery, and diced onion.
Step 5
Sauté these colorful veggies for about five minutes, or until they’re tender and fragrant, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to add the star of the show: cubed turkey.
Step 7
Stir in your prepared stuffing, a splash of turkey broth, and season with salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, and dried thyme.
Step 8
Mix everything together until well combined, then transfer this hearty mixture into your greased casserole dish.
Step 9
In a separate saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium-high heat.
Step 10
Sprinkle in a bit of flour to create a smooth paste, then gradually whisk in one cup of turkey broth.
Step 11
Season this creamy sauce with salt, thyme, onion, garlic, and pepper, stirring until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 12
Pour this luscious sauce over the turkey mixture in the casserole dish, ensuring every bite will be packed with flavor.
Step 13
Pop the casserole into your preheated oven and let it bake uncovered for about 30 minutes.
Step 14
When the time is up, take it out and sprinkle fresh breadcrumbs on top for that perfect crunch.
Step 15
Drizzle some melted butter over the breadcrumbs to give them a golden finish.
Step 16
Now, adjust your oven rack to about six inches from the heat source and turn on the broiler.
Step 17
Broil the casserole for about two minutes, keeping a close eye on it until the breadcrumbs are golden and toasted to perfection.
Step 18
Once it’s ready, serve it up immediately and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this delightful turkey casserole!.
