Why you should try this recipe

  • Turkey bacon is much lower fat than ‘normal’ bacon
  • A quiche is always a great dish to make for a picnic or outdoor lunch
  • This is an excconomical recipe so great for parties and feeding a crowd

The inspiration for this quiche

Inspiration comes from all sorts of places, for me it’s very often what is in the fridge that nudges me in one direction or another. This Turkey Bacon Quiche is a real case in point.

I had a real yen to make a quiche but no normal bacon, just turkey rashers. Hmmmm let’s try that and go with the whole turkey idea and add the flavours that go naturally with it.

So here is the result, called Turkey Bacon Quiche for the fact that it is turkey with a bit of the trimmings and also remembering that turkey is less fattening than bacon so keeps you trim. Oh come on I do try honestly…..

Ingredients for turkey bacon quiche

  • Turkey bacon rashers – you can always just use normal bacon instead of course.
  • a packet of shortcrust pastry
  • Onion, leek and garlic are the base for this quiche
  • eggs of course plus cream
  • sage and seasoning

Store cupboard basics

As I’ve already said, this recipe was brought about through a bit of fridge foraging. I have basically done the same for the pastry, just a packet of shortcrust pastry from the freezer. Yes I know it is easy enough to make your own pastry, and I frequently do. However for a quick midweek meal I am all for using what you have on hand in fridge, freezer and larder. Keep things simple, quick and easy to avoid stress.
