01
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, then add the potatoes and cook them just until they’re starting to get tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes and spread them out in the baking dish, then place the turkey on top.

Step 2
Next, heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat and toss in the sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re just soft—around 4 to 5 minutes. Separate the onions into rings and spread them evenly over the turkey.

Step 3
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and cook it, stirring constantly, until it bubbles and turns a bit golden, about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the turkey stock, bringing the mixture to a boil while stirring. Keep stirring for another 3 to 4 minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat, then stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano until it melts. Finally, mix in the sour cream and pepper, tasting and adjusting the seasoning if needed.

Step 4
Pour this creamy sauce over the turkey and potatoes, giving the dish a little shake to help everything settle. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly on top, then pop the dish in the oven on the center rack. Bake until it’s bubbly and golden, about 30 minutes.

Step 5
When it’s done, sprinkle with some fresh parsley and serve it warm. Enjoy!
