I didn&#8217;t notice, originally, that this recipe requires 8 hours of refrigeration before baking and had planned to serve this for last night&#8217;s dinner.  Luckily, I had the ingredients on hand for the &#8220;comes together quickly&#8221; Hot Brown sandwiches and we had those instead.  So, don&#8217;t make the same mistake that I did:  be sure that you start preparing this at least 9 hours before you want to eat it!  Also, the original recipe called for thawed frozen broccoli florets, instead, so feel free to substitute &#8211; thawed frozen spinach might be good, too (squeeze out all of the excess water first).  A small sprinkle of your favorite herb would also be a nice addition.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nTurkey-Cheddar Strata with Peas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 Tbsp. softened, unsalted butter<br \/>\n6 oz, by weight, cubed French bread pieces (about 3 to 4 cups)<br \/>\n2 cups chopped leftover (cooked) turkey<br \/>\n1 package (10 oz) frozen green peas, thawed<br \/>\n1\/2 cup diced celery<br \/>\n2 cups shredded cheddar cheese<br \/>\n6 lightly beaten large eggs<br \/>\n2 cups milk<br \/>\n3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour<br \/>\n1 tsp. salt<br \/>\n1 tsp. curry powder<br \/>\n1 tsp. dry mustard<br \/>\n1 tsp.

Layer half each of bread cubes, turkey, peas, celery and cheddar cheese in pan; repeat layers, ending with cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Whisk together eggs and remaining ingredients in a large bowl; pour evenly over cheese, pressing down lightly to absorb liquid.  Cover and chill 8 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Remove from fridge and uncover.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until golden.  Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into serving-sized pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Another option:<br \/>\nLayer the ingredients, as directed, into custard cups (7 of them, 10 ounces each) instead of the baking pan, to make individual serving cups.  Bake for just 30 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NB: I adapted this recipe from one that was published in Southern Living magazine many years ago.
