Daughter Megan shared this recipe, as well as a serving to try. It was definitely a good comfort food and helpful for lunch planning for the week. You could easily make this from a rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey.
Green Bean Casseroles (High Protein)
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cans cut green beans, drained
- 25 ounces cooked turkey breast, diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 ounces mushrooms, diced
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/3 cup light sour cream
- 3/4 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 tablespoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup crispy fried onions, 56g
- 2 ounces Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and arrange 5 oven safe containers on a cookie sheet.
- Divide the green beans and turkey evenly amongst the 5 bowls.
- In a sauce pan over medium high heat melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and saute 5-7 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour (it will be clumpy) and slowly stir in the broth. Add about 1/4 cup of broth at a time and let it heat up before adding more.
- Simmer 5-10 minutes until it begins to reduce. Remove from heat and add the milk and sour cream. Return to heat and simmer another 5-10 minutes until nice and thick. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Stir in half the cheese and fried onions. Evenly distribute into the 5 containers, pouring over the turkey and green beans. Each cup gets about 1/2 cup.
- Mix bowls up well if you prefer. Cover with remaining cheese and onions. Bake for 35 minutes or until they start to bubble and the tops get crispy.
- Let cool before covering with lids and placing in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave 2-3 minutes.
