Turkey Quiche

No “real men” jokes here except to point out that real men eat anything they want … especially a quiche as good as this one. An excellent source of calcium.

Baking sheet

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese 500 mL
1 cup chopped, cooked turkey 250 mL
1 tbsp finely chopped green onion 15 mL
1 tbsp finely chopped celery 15 mL
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley 15 mL
1 tbsp all-purpose flour 15 mL

3 eggs 3
1 cup half-and-half (10%) cream 250 mL
1 unbaked pie shell (9-inch/23 cm) 1
1 tbsp grated Canadian Parmesan cheese 15 mL
