This recipe is the perfect solution to what to do with left over turkey. My family looks forward to it every year after Thanksgiving.Lois Forehand, Little River Academy, Texas Ingredients:
1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches) |
1-1/2 cups finely chopped cooked turkey |
4 eggs |
3/4 cup half-and-half cream |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded swiss cheese |
4 green onions, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons diced pimientos |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes |
dash salt and pepper |
3 slices (3/4 ounce each) swiss cheese, cut into thin strips |
Directions:
1. Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5-7 minutes longer or until golden brown. Reduce heat to 375°.
2. Sprinkle turkey into pastry shell. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and cream. Stir in the shredded Swiss cheese, onions, pimientos, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Pour into crust.
3. Bake for 20 minutes. Arrange Swiss cheese strips in a lattice pattern over quiche. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.
