Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup cooked, diced turkey
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 green onion, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 eggs
Crust
- 1 9-inch deep-dish pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the quiche.
- Cook Turkey: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced turkey for 3 to 5 minutes to remove any excess moisture and enhance flavor. Set aside once done.
- Prepare Turkey Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the warm cooked turkey with cream cheese, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Layer Turkey Mixture: Spread the turkey and cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onion evenly on top of the turkey layer.
- Mix Custard: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and fully combined to create the custard base.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the egg custard mixture gently over the layered ingredients in the pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until the quiche is fully set and the top is a golden brown color.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes out of the oven before slicing to help the filling set further and to ensure clean slices.
Notes
- Use cooked turkey leftover from a roast or turkey breast for best flavor and texture.
- Adjust hot sauce amount to your preferred spice level.
- Make sure the turkey is warm when mixing with cream cheese to help it melt smoothly.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing to maintain clean and firm portions.
- A deep-dish pie crust is essential for holding the rich filling without spilling.
- For extra creaminess, you can substitute some of the heavy cream with half-and-half.
