Ingredients
1refrigerated pie crust
5-6slicesor 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
3eggs
1cupmilk
1cupdiced turkey breast
3green onionsminced
1/2red pepperdiced
1tbspcilantrominced
salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Lay the pie crust dough in the bottom of a quiche pan or pie plate. Prick the bottom of the pie crust with a fork several times to prevent bubbles.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk till smooth. Stir in the turkey, onions, peppers, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into prepared pie dish.
Bake for 60 minutes. If the pie crust browns too quickly, you can cover it with aluminum foil, but don't let the foil touch the egg filling or it will bake in. Tear the foil into strips and wrap them around the edges of the dish.
The turkey quiche is done when the eggs remain firm when the plate is gently wiggled. Prick with a toothpick and if it comes out clean, it is set. (Just be careful to not mistake melted cheese for the eggs!)
Recipe Notes
You can use leftover turkey meat from Thanksgiving or any roast turkey. You could also request thick cut turkey from the deli at your grocery department and cut that into chunks at home.
