Broccoli Cheese Casserole is a classic, but much deserving of an update. This healthy broccoli casserole from Cooking Light has zero processed ingredients plus healthy whole grains. All the comfort of broccoli and cheese, but with a major protein punch thanks to the turkey sausage and quinoa.<\/p>\n
I have been making this healthy broccoli casserole recipe for years and have shared it with countless friends and family members. Cheesy, crunchy, creamy, and insanely delicious.<\/p>\n

Cook’s Note:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n This healthy broccoli casserole recipe is versatile and ingredients may be swapped out depending on what you have on hand.<\/p>\n Don’t have sweet onions? Use shallots or leeks! Don’t have fresh Thyme? Use dried! No Panko? No problem! Toast whatever bread you have on hand and process in the food processor.<\/p>\n I think you get the idea…<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Instructions” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/frostedkale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/recipe_illustration_01-2.png” background_size=”initial” min_height=”1403px” custom_margin=”||72px|||” custom_padding=”90px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”-44px|auto||auto||” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding_tablet=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Cormorant Garamond|600|||||||” header_2_font_size=”36px” header_3_font=”Montserrat|500|||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_font_size=”30px” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||15px|” animation_style=”fade” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#cccccc” divider_weight=”2px” _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”80px” max_width_tablet=”150px” max_width_phone=”150px” max_width_last_edited=”off|desktop” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||15px|” animation_style=”fade” animation_direction=”left” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”Instructions Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”-37px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” text_text_color=”#1e1e1e” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_5_font=”Montserrat||||||||” header_5_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”||0px|” custom_padding=”36px||36px|” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” border_color_all=”rgba(51,51,51,0.1)” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
