Christmas Turkey Quiche Bake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Christmas Turkey Quiche Bake.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating canola oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is shimmering, add the turkey breast and cook it, flipping occasionally, until it’s beautifully browned and fully cooked—this should take about 15 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once done, remove the turkey from the heat and let it cool before cutting it into small, bite-sized chunks.

4. Step 4

   While the turkey cools, preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

5. Step 5

   In a fresh sauté pan, melt some butter over medium heat.

6. Step 6

   Toss in the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced jalapeños, and sauté them until the onion turns a lovely translucent color, which should take around 5 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Next, grab a mixing bowl and combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, and a pinch of salt.

8. Step 8

   Cut in chilled lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs—this is where the magic happens! Gradually add iced water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball.

9. Step 9

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 9-inch circle, then gently transfer it to a pie plate.

10. Step 10

    Pop the crust into your preheated oven and bake until the edges are lightly golden, which should take about 10 minutes.

11. Step 11

    Once your crust is ready, spread the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture evenly across the bottom.

12. Step 12

    Next, layer on the grated farmer's cheese, followed by those delicious chunks of turkey breast.

13. Step 13

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, and baking powder until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

14. Step 14

    Pour this delightful mixture over the filling in the crust, ensuring everything is well covered.

15. Step 15

    Now, it’s time to bake your quiche! Place it in the oven and let it bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the crust springs back when touched.

16. Step 16

    The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once it’s done, let it cool slightly before slicing into it.

17. Step 17

    Enjoy your homemade quiche, a perfect dish for any occasion!.
