This casserole is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I often make it after Thanksgiving or Christmas.

I've made this casserole with both fresh and frozen broccoli and it's always delicious. I prefer using fresh broccoli, but frozen broccoli works just as well.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I loved this casserole. The gorgonzola cheese adds a lot of flavor and the casserole is very creamy.
