     1/2  ts            Tabasco sauce
   2      c             Evaporated milk

Line a 10" pie plate with the pie pastry, trimming and fluting the
edge. Bake at 350 F for 5 minutes or until partially browned.

Layer half of the cheese, turkey, chiles, corn, bell pepper, onion,
remaining cheese, and cilantro in the partially baked crust.

Beat the eggs, salt, garlic powder, cumin, and Tabasco sauce in a
mixer bowl. Add the evaporated milk, beating well. Pour over the
layers.

Bake at 350 F for 1 hour or until a knife inserted near the center
comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Note:

If it's Friday or Saturday at The Dove's Nest, that usually means
Quiche Day. One of our customers' favorites is this combination of
Southwest flavors.
