Spinach and Turkey Quiche with Onions

Spinach and Turkey Quiche

Did you know yesterday was World Egg day? I meant to share this recipe for spinach and turkey quiche in honor of that holiday, but got busy and missed it.

That’s okay, though, because even bigger holidays are just around the corner: Thanksgiving and Christmas. All our grown children came home for Christmas, and those who live close are usually here for Thanksgiving, as well. And since they bring all their own children with them, we have lots of extra people in our home for those festive occasions.

We also end up with lots of leftovers in the refrigerator. A few years back, I used what I found on hand the morning to whip up a couple of quiches for breakfast, and fed them to the last of those grown kids before they headed home. The quiches got rave reviews from everybody who woke up early enough to enjoy a piece. So I jotted down the recipe down and decided to share it here. Happy baking!
