How to Make Meaty Mushroom Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place your store-bought or homemade pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  2. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground turkey and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned.
  4. Drain off any excess grease using a slotted spoon. Set the turkey and mushroom mixture aside.
  5. In the same skillet, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup milk, 3 large eggs, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
  6. Stir in the cooked turkey and mushroom mixture, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
  7. Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown.
  9. Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
  10. **Variation:** Substitute the cheddar cheese with 1 cup of your favorite cheese, such as Swiss or Monterey Jack.
