    Leftover - Hot Brown Turkey Casserole

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

    for the sauce:
    1 cup butter (2 sticks)
    2/3 cup flour
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1 1/2 cups half-and-half
    1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
    1 cup milk
    1 1/4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
    1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

    for the topping:
    1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
    1/2 cup diced tomatoes
    1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread cubes in the bottom of
    a 2-quart casserole. Top with diced turkey. Set aside.
    for 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.
    for topping:
    Sprinkle bacon and tomatoes on top of sauce. Then sprinkle
    with shredded Parmesan cheese. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or
    until the casserole is hot and bubbly.
    Serves 8.
