Turkey Divan

I made Turkey Divan from the Fanny Farmer cookbook--a very old one! Clearly, I have been using up leftover frozen thanksgiving turkey lately. This would have been great with some bread.

This is the recipe.

Layer in a small casserole dish:

4 stalks cooked broccoli (not sure what this means. I used 2 broccoli heads and steamed them for 15 min)
Leftover turkey (1-2 cups)
2-3 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
sauce (see below)
More Parmesan.

Bake at 350 for 12 min until "delicately brown". Whatever that means.
-------------------------
Sauce:
1 cup cream sauce (see below)
stir 2 egg yolks into cream sauce
----------------------
Cream sauce:
Melt in double boiler or small heavy pan:
2 T butter
2 T flour
Blend well.
Slowly stir in 1 cup milk. (use whisk). Bring slowly to a boil, then boil 2 minutes. Stir constantly
Salt and pepper to taste.

I remember that the old Fannie Farmer version of this called for Sherry?
