- Prepare Gravy Base: Blend in the flour and hot chicken stock, stirring continuously until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine with Eggs: Remove about half of the gravy from the saucepan and mix it with the beaten eggs.
- Cook Egg Mixture: Return the egg and gravy mixture to the saucepan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Set the gravy aside to cool.
- Prepare Crumb Mixture: In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and toss in the bread crumbs. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Add Seasonings: Stir in the diced onions, poultry seasoning, and salt into the crumb mixture.
- Layering: In a greased 8″x8″ casserole dish, add a layer of the crumb mixture followed by a layer of diced chicken or turkey, and then a layer of gravy. Repeat the layers, ending with the last layer of crumbs.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the casserole for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
