How to Make Turkey Rice Amandine

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Add 1 cup of long-grain rice and return to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
  4. While rice cooks, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard until smooth.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of milk until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly.
  7. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Set aside.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Spread 1 cup of chopped broccoli florets in the bottom of a 10x6-inch baking dish.
  10. Evenly layer 2 cups of cooked turkey (or chicken) and the cooked rice over the broccoli.
  11. Pour the cheese sauce over the rice and turkey mixture.
  12. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of slivered almonds, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Mix well.
  13. Sprinkle the almond breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese sauce.
  14. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown around the edges.
