## Ingredients

- 0.5 unit shallot
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup mushrooms
- 1 lbs 93/7 ground turkey
- 18 Grade A large eggs
- 2 14 oz containers 2% fat cottage cheese
- 1 12 oz package frozen broccoli florets
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp white pepper
- 3 tsp rubbed sage

## Instructions

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