Ingredients

    3 T unsalted butter
    3 T all-purpose flour
    3 C whole milk
    1 tsp. kosher salt, or to taste
    1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
    Pinch of cayenne
    1 1/2 C cheddar cheese, shredded
    1 1/2 C mozzarella cheese, shredded
    20 oz. ground turkey
    1 C onion, sliced
    1 C bell pepper, sliced

Directions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes; adjust the heat as needed so that the mixture does not brown. Whisk in the milk, lower the heat to keep the bechamel at a gentle simmer (use a diffuser, such as a Flame Tamer, if necessary), and cook, whisking often, until the sauce has thickened and reduced to about 2 cups, 30 to 40 minutes; move the whisk over the bottom and into the corners of the pan to be sure the bechamel doesn't burn. Whisk in the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses

Strain the bechamel through a fine-mesh conical strainer into a spouted measuring cup. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne.

Brown the turkey over medium-high heat.
