High Protein Quiche
Directions
- 1First, start with the add-ins, which are shallots.
- 2To prepare shallots, cut one from roots to the top, set one half aside, and slice lengthwise from the side and top, then mince.
- 3Next, peel and crush garlic cloves with your palms to remove the skins and cut off the hard ends.
- 4Instead of just slicing garlic to mince, use the blunt end of the knife and actually crush the garlic in a slicing motion.
- 5Mushrooms are totally optional, but add a nice, rich, savory flavor.
- 6Unwrap the plastic around the mushroom container, take what you need, and rewrap it to avoid a mess.
- 7Quickly wash and roughly chop mushrooms into whatever size pieces as they will cook down anyway.
- 8Set the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius.
- 9Once the pan is hot, cook the turkey on medium heat.
- 10While the turkey is cooking, add 1 teaspoon of salt, about 6 grams.
- 11A couple of minutes later, flip the meat.
- 12After that side browns a bit, add the minced mushrooms to cook down with the meat, letting them release moisture.
- 13Continue stirring the meat and mushrooms, and then add the other seasonings: 1 teaspoon of white pepper (it must be white pepper), about 3 grams, and 3 teaspoons (about 1 tablespoon or 3 grams) of rubbed sage (it must be rubbed sage).
- 14Break up the mixture more with a potato masher, which does a great job of turning it into a fine mince.
- 15Now, add the shallots and garlic.
- 16Once everything is well mixed, kill the heat.
- 17Crack 18 eggs into a bowl.
- 18Add 1 teaspoon of salt (that's 2 teaspoons total now) and whisk away with love.
- 19Now for the surprise ingredient: cottage cheese.
- 20Add two 14-ounce or 454-gram containers of cottage cheese to the eggs.
- 21Next, add the cooked meat and mushroom mixture and whisk everything together.
- 22For some color and extra nutrition, add broccoli.
- 23Take your frozen vegetable of choice and dump it into a microwave-safe dish.
- 24Add a little bit of water and microwave on high for about 4 minutes.
- 25Once the broccoli is ready, add it to the mixture.
- 26Prepare a 9x13-inch or approximately 23x33 cm glass baking dish; you can grease it with olive oil, though it's not necessary.
- 27Pour in the quiche mixture and ensure everything is evenly spread.
- 28Toss it in the preheated oven to bake for 40 minutes.
