Instruc­tions

1. First, cook the broc­coli in boil­ing water for 10 minutes.Then, put the strained broc­coli in a pot on the stove, with olive oil cov­er­ing the bot­tom of the pot. Add the minced gar­lic and the minced onion. On low heat, mix it all togeth­er so that the broc­coli becomes cov­ered with gar­lic and onion. This only takes a cou­ple of min­utes.

   
2. Pre­heat oven to 350 degrees Fahren­heit. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the cream, and sea­son with nut­meg, salt and pep­per. Mix. Add the slices of turkey cut in lit­tle pieces, and 1/3 of the shred­ded cheese. Mix again.

   
3. Put the broc­coli in a gratin dish (or sim­i­lar dish that goes in the oven). Cov­er with the mix­ture you just pre­pared. Add the remain­der of the shred­ded cheese. Sprin­kle with bread­crumbs.

   
4. Bake for 45 min­utes at 350 degrees Fahren­heit. The top of the gratin should become light brown. Enjoy!
