Company Turkey Divan

1 1/2 pounds broccoli
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup blue cheese
1 cup heavy cream
12 ounces sliced cooked turkey
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Extra freshly grated Parmesan cheese for sprinkling

Cut broccoli into serving pieces. Cook in water in a saucepan until tender-crisp; drain. Place in a baking dish.

In a saucepan, blend flour, salt, and butter. Cook until bubbly, stirring constantly, then slowly stir in chicken broth. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly; remove from the heat.

Add blue cheese and stir until melted. Whisk in cream. Spoon 1/2 of the sauce onto the broccoli and top with sliced, cooked turkey.

Stir grated Parmesan cheese into the remaining sauce and spoon over the turkey. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake at 375F for 15 minutes, or until bubbly.
