This sauce goes well with potatoes and vegetables and is my favorite for steak. Even people who dislike blue cheese will find it to be simple and satisfying!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8×8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat for the sauce. Stir in flour and mix until a paste forms. Pour in 1 cup turkey broth and season with salt, thyme, onion, garlic, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Stir to combine and pour over the turkey mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove and top with fresh bread crumbs. Melt remaining butter and drizzle over the bread crumbs.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.
- Broil casserole until bread crumbs are golden and toasted, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
- Make your own bread crumbs from 1 to 2 dinner rolls.
