Step 1

Bake the unpricked pastry shell in a 450°F oven for 4-5 minutes or till it just begins to puff. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375°.

Meanwhile, in a medium skillet cook turkey and onion in butter over medium-high heat till onion is tender but not brown. Sprinkle cheese over bottom of prebaked shell. Spoon turkey mixture over cheese.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, the cream, the mustard , the salt and the red pepper. Pour over the cheese-turkey mixture.

Bake in the 375°F oven for about 30 minutes or till a knife inserted near center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent overbrowning. Let quiche cool for 10 minutes before serving.
