TURKEY AND CHEDDAR QUICHE



Turkey and Cheddar Quiche image

Add fresh dill to this shredded-turkey quiche with a homemade crust.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, diced and kept very cold
4 teaspoons cider or white vinegar
1/3 cup ice water, plus more if needed
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup shredded roasted turkey
1 cup shredded Cheddar
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
3 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Pulse together the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add about a third of the chilled butter cubes and process until the butter is absorbed. Add the remaining butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas, 5 or 6 pulses. Add the vinegar. Then, pulsing quickly a few times as you do it, add the ice water through the tube. Squeeze some dough between your fingers, it should just hold its shape without feeling wet. If it is crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time. Pulse quickly and take care not to overwork or the dough will be tough. Wrap the dough loosely in a large piece of plastic wrap, then firmly press and flatten the dough into a thin round. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Lightly flour a work surface, then roll the dough into an 11- to 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Center the dough in a 9-inch pie plate, with an even overhang all around. Fold the edges and flute or crimp. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Press a piece of foil over the chilled crust, then fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Bake to set the crust, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until the crust is light brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly before adding the filling.
  • Sprinkle the scallions evenly into the crust. Combine the turkey with the Cheddar and sprinkle it in an even layer over the scallions.
  • Whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Stir in the dill.
  • Pour the custard over the filling. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until set, 35 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a crispy quiche crust, pre-bake it before filling. To do this, prick the bottom of the pie crust with a fork and bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overfill the quiche. The filling should come about 3/4 of the way up the sides of the crust.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the quiche hold its shape when you slice it.

Conclusion:

Christmas turkey quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a holiday brunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. With its creamy filling, flaky crust, and festive flavors, this quiche is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
