    List of Ingredients




    cups toasted bread cubes, ideally from a high-quality bakery-style bread
    2 cups diced, cooked turkey breast

    Sauce:

    1 cup butter (2 sticks)
    2/3 cup flour
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1½ cups half-and-half
    1½ cups heavy whipping cream
    1 cup milk

    1¼ cups shredded Parmesan cheese
    1¼ cups shredded cheddar cheese

    Topping:

    ½ cup cooked bacon, chopped
    ½ cup diced tomatoes
    ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread cubes in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole. Top with diced turkey. Set aside.

    To make sauce: Melt butter in a large stockpot set over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour, salt and pepper. Whisk hard to create a smooth, lump-free paste. Continue to cook and stir for about 5 minutes, or until flour barely begins to brown.

    Slowly whisk in half-and-half. Slowly whisk in heavy whipping cream. Slowly whisk in milk. Use a whisk if mixture begins to separate. Continue to cook and stir until mixture bubbles.

    Add cheese; remove from heat and stir until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth.

    Pour sauce over bread and turkey. Add topping before baking.

    To make topping: Sprinkle bacon and tomatoes on top of sauce. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese.

    Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly.

    Serves 8.
