TURKEY SAUSAGE, FENNEL, AND LEEK QUICHE

This is a rich and filling quiche. Very easy to make, the ingredients perfectly complement one another. Don't be afraid of fresh fennel. It's a delightful and mild vegetable, and as easy to prep as celery or onions.

1 Pie Crust 3 Eggs
2 Spicey or Italian Turkey Sausages 1 cup Milk
1 Leek, diced 1 cup Cheddar or Colby Cheese, grated
1 Fennel bulb, diced  

Pre-set the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 inch glass pie pan, and put the crust in it. Set aside.

Place 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil in a cast iron skillet. Cut the turkey sausages into bite-sized pieces and put them in the skillet. When they begin to brown, add the leek and fennel. Stir until the vegetables are transluscent. Turn the flame down to low, and cover the skillet.

While the turkey mixture simmers, put the eggs in a glass or stainless steel bowl and whip them with a whisk. Add the milk, and beat until just frothy.

Sprinkle a bit of the grated cheese over the pie crust. Spread the turkey mixture on top of that. Pour the egg mixture over it, and cover with the remaining cheese. Bake it 25 minutes or until the middle is firm.
