Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F. First, prepare the veggie filling. Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Saute the mushrooms, shallot and red bell pepper for 5 to 7 minutes until pepper is tender. Add the tomato and cook for a few minutes until tomato juices are evaporated. Remove from heat and cool.
Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and seasonings: salt, pepper, basil, thyme. Fold in diced turkey, grated cheddar (I used mild garlic and herb cheddar), and the prepared mushroom mixture.
Unroll the premade pie crust (or roll out homemade pie crust) and line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan or deep-dish pie pan. Pour in the prepared quiche filling. Sprinkle the top with chopped chives and smoked paprika.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is completely set. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
