About the blog

We are fortunate enough to have a produce delivery service that delivers seasonal, organic and local produce year-round. Our weekly menu is based on whatever items we happen to get that week, which always changes. This inspires a lot of creativity and improvising in our daily meals. While I tend to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, to me it is a relaxing experience and worth the effort. I hope you enjoy the recipes posted which are influenced from a variety of cultures!

Spinach and Turkey Quiche

This quiche is very delicious and versatile! It can be put together fairly quickly too. Feel free to use other veggies and meat (or omit meat).
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 bunch fresh spinach leaves or 1-1/2 cup frozen spinach
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper, any color, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 lb cooked turkey, diced
5 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning mix
1/2 cup shredded cheese, preferably Swiss or Parmesean
1 - 9" frozen pie crust, thawed (or make your own)

Preheat oven to 375F. Press pie crust to pie pan. Heat olive oil over medium heat, saute pepper and onion for about 4 min until softened then add garlic for 1 more minute.  Add the spinach to the onion mix, rotating stirring and covering until all leaves are wilted or heated through.  Layer the spinach, onions, pepper and garlic mix on the bottom of the pie crust.  Sprinkle the turkey on top, then the cheese.  Using a blender, mix the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and seasoning.  Pour the egg mixture over the other ingredients in the pie pan.  Bake for about 40-45 minutes until golden brown on top.  Cool about 5 min before cutting.  Enjoy!
