Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 1 tablespoon of ice water at a time until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork it.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Season the turkey or chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a little vegetable oil. Bake in the oven for approximately 35 minutes or until fully cooked.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the broccoli for about 5 minutes. Drain and chop into small pieces.
Once the meat is cooked, chop it into small pieces along with the broccoli.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs and cream, incorporating salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and press it into a quiche or pie dish. Puncture the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing.
Sprinkle half of the cheese on the bottom, followed by the chopped meat and broccoli. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling.
Top with the remaining cheese, ensuring an even layer.
Step 4
Place the assembled quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 45-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 5
Serve the quiche warm for the best flavor. This dish is perfect as an appetizer or a satisfying meal. Enjoy!
Servings
When it’s time to serve this delicious Turkey and Broccoli Pastry, consider pairing it with a fresh garden salad 🥗 for a burst of color and crunch. The crisp greens complement the rich filling, making each bite a delight!
For an elevated experience, sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top before serving. Not only does this add a pop of color, but it also enhances the flavor beautifully! 🌿
Another fun idea is to serve slices of the pastry alongside a zesty dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli or a tangy ranch. This adds a whole new layer of taste that your guests will love! 😋
Don't forget the drinks! A light white wine 🍷 or a sparkling mineral water is ideal to balance the flavors of the pastry.
Equipment
A large mixing bowl is essential for combining ingredients. Opt for a glass or stainless steel bowl for durability and easy cleaning.

Variations
For those on a gluten-free diet, you can easily replace regular flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend for the pastry crust. Just make sure to follow the specific blend's instructions on moisture content to achieve the right consistency! 🌾
Going vegan? Substitute the turkey with chickpeas or lentils for protein. You can also use plant-based butter for the pastry and replace eggs with flaxseeds mixed with water for binding. This way, you can still enjoy a hearty pastry without the animal products! 🌱
Faq
- Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen broccoli works just fine! Just make sure to thaw and drain it well before adding it to your filling to avoid excess moisture.
- How can I make sure the pastry crust doesn’t get soggy?
To keep the crust crispy, make sure to pre-bake it for a few minutes before adding the filling. Additionally, avoid over-saturating your filling with liquid!
- What can I substitute if I don’t have mozzarella cheese?
If you don’t have mozzarella, any mild cheese that melts well, like gouda or cheddar, can be a great alternative!
- Can I prepare this dish in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pastry and filling ahead of time, store them separately in the fridge, and assemble before baking for a fresh taste!
- Can I add other vegetables to the filling?
Definitely! Feel free to add veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini to give it more flavor and nutrients.
- How do I know when the pastry is fully cooked?
The pastry is done when it has a golden-brown color on top and the filling is set. A toothpick should come out clean when poked into the center!
