Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Celsius to ensure it’s ready when the quiche is assembled and ready for baking.
Prep the Turkey: Season the turkey fillet with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, then proceed to cut it into bite-sized cubes for even cooking.
Chop and Slice: Chop the onion finely, and slice the mushrooms, carrots, and celery into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniformity for balanced flavor in every bite.
Sauté the Ingredients: In a skillet, heat a dash of oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the mushrooms, carrots, and celery. Cook until they begin to soften, infusing the kitchen with their delightful aroma.
Assembling the Quiche
Prepare the Pastry: Line an oven dish or springform pan with the puff pastry, ensuring it covers the base and sides evenly. Use a fork to prick holes in the pastry to prevent it from puffing up excessively during baking.
Layer the Ingredients: Spoon the sautéed mixture of vegetables and turkey onto the pastry-lined dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure each slice of quiche is bursting with flavor.
Whisk the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, crème fraîche, salt, and pepper until well combined. This creamy mixture will bind the ingredients together and add a luscious texture to the quiche.
Pour and Sprinkle: Pour the egg and crème fraîche mixture over the layered ingredients in the dish, ensuring it seeps into every nook and cranny. For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle grated cheese over the top if desired.
Baking to Perfection
Into the Oven: Carefully transfer the assembled quiche into the preheated oven, allowing it to bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
Check for Doneness: To ensure your quiche is cooked to perfection, insert a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, your quiche is ready to be served and savored.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your freshly baked quiche with a side salad of crisp greens or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. Whether enjoyed for brunch, lunch, or dinner, quiche with turkey is a versatile dish that pairs well with a variety of accompaniments.
