French fried onions (optional)*

1. In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté the celery and onion in the butter until tender, about 4 minutes; add to the stuffing. Stir in the chicken broth; spoon mixture into bottom of a 12x8x2-inch shallow baking dish. Arrange the broccoli and cubed turkey over the stuffing mixture.

*I topped mine with French fried onions because my family enjoys the extra flavor and crunch they give. But this casserole is equally delicious without them.
