Simple & Delicious Leftover Turkey & Stuffing Quiche

This delicious quiche is perfect to serve
for brunch a day or two after serving
a turkey dinner. 🦃

Ingredients:

1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell (store bought or homemade)

1 cup leftover chopped turkey  

1 cup leftover stuffing

3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

1 cup half & half

4 eggs

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

sour cream, optional

smoked paprika, optional

cranberry sauce or relish, optional

Method:

Preheat oven to 350*. Place the pastry lined pie plate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and place on a rimmed baking sheet.

Layer the turkey in the crust. Top evenly with the stuffing and then the cheese. Sprinkle the parsley over all.

Whisk together the half & half, eggs and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour over the ingredients in the pie pan. Place the quiche and baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted half way between the center and the outer edge comes out clean. 

Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Cut into 6 portions. If desired, top each slice with a small dollop of sour cream and sprinkle lightly with smoked paprika. Serve with cranberry sauce or relish. Makes 6 servings.

Note: When I mentioned to my husband that I was making a quiche with leftover turkey and stuffing, he wasn't very enthusiastic about the idea, but he was very pleased with the result!  😀
