eggs stretch just a little left
over turkey (or chicken, if
you prefer) into a second-day
feast You’ll be hard-pressed
to find a tastier, more nutri
tious way to dress up left
overs
It’s easy to work this culi
nary magic Simply mix the
eggs with half and half, the
turkey and seasonings and
pour them into a pic shell
sprinkled with shredded
cheese That’s all there is to
it' In 30 minutes your oven

mixture into a delicious tur
key custard—smooth and
light with a golden brown,
puffy top’ Your family or
guests will be so impressed
you’ll find it hard to admit
the quiche was so easy to pre
pare

treat your family to a special
supper or serve guests a just
