Healthy Turkey Bacon Quiche Food

TURKEY BACON AND BROCCOLI QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Unroll the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
• Arrange 6 strips of the bacon one above the other in a square on a baking sheet; the edges should touch but not overlap. Working with one of the remaining strips at a time, weave them over and under to form a lattice.
• Whisk the Cheddar, milk, eggs, broccoli, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Pour into the pie crust. Bake the bacon lattice and quiche on separate baking sheets until the bacon is just starting to crisp up and the quiche is slightly set but still jiggly in the center, about 15 minutes.
• Use 2 spatulas to transfer the bacon lattice to the top of the quiche. Continue baking until the bacon is golden brown and crisp and the quiche is set, 15 to 20 minutes more. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

TURKEY AND CHEDDAR QUICHE

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.
