Leftover Turkey & Roasted Vegetable Quiche {RECIPE}

A couple years ago, I did a segment for Fox talking about my favorite recipes for Thanksgiving leftovers. The recipe that I found was the biggest hit, the most loved, was the Turkey and Roasted Vegetable Quiche. It’s an amazing breakfast recipe that you can make the day after Thanksgiving that utilizes the leftovers that you slaved over the day before.

In spirit of that, I wanted to share this recipe for you guys to enjoy! And if you want to see the full recipe post, you can see that here: Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes!
