Too Good to Forget ~ Smoked Turkey, Broccoli and Gouda Casserole

This dish is an old standby that is especially satisfying on a cold winter day when you're stuck indoors. It was first introduced to me by a friend at work. Whenever we would have office potlucks, she would bring this dish. I loved it so much that I always requested the recipe from her, but she would just laugh and rattle off the list of ingredients, saying that there was no written recipe for it. Eventually, when she left the company, I pinned her down and made her write the recipe down. What I got in return was a grocery list of the ingredients that go into making this wonderful casserole. This is one of the few recipes in my standard rotation that I know by heart. I think it is too good to forget.

Here is what you need to make it:

16 oz. frozen chopped broccoli (thawed)

16 oz. jar of Alfredo sauce

4-5 medium potatoes (any kind you prefer), cubed or sliced thin

4 oz. Smoked Gouda cheese

4 oz. Shredded Parmesan cheese

1 lb. Smoked turkey breast, cut up into cubes

Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a lightly greased casserole dish or 9x13 pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until bubbly and potatoes are tender.
