  • 10 – 12 slices bacon
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced

  • 2 tsp. fresh rosemary, thyme and/or sage, minced
  • 1-½ cups roast turkey, diced
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 425°F.
  • Unroll pie crust; fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate or oven-safe skillet; crimp or flute edges as desired.
  • Place in refrigerator and chill at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, arrange bacon on a rimmed baking sheet; it’s OK if some pieces overlap.
  • Place in oven and bake 13 – 15 minutes or until bacon renders most of its fat and is cooked but still pliable and not crisp.
  • Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add onion, carrot and a generous pinch of salt and pepper; cook 6 – 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tender; set aside to cool slightly.
  • Prick bottom of chilled pie crust all over with a fork.
  • Line pie crust with foil.
  • Fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Place in oven and bake 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven; remove foil and pie weights.
  • Return crust to oven; bake 5 minutes or until bottom is light golden.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, half-and-half, herbs, salt and pepper.
  • Stir in vegetables, turkey and cheese.
  • Pour into parbaked pie crust.
  • Place in oven and bake 20 minutes or until filling is starting to set.
  • Remove from oven, arrange parcooked bacon in a lattice pattern on top, trimming edges as needed.
  • Place in oven and bake 20 – 25 minutes or until bacon is crisp and filling is set.
  • Remove from oven and let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
