    • Ham was the original recipe. But actually you can use any protein you like. I love meat and have used bacon and ground beef as well. Skip the meat all together and it is still tasty. Merry Christmas.

  7. That looks perfect, Marilyn. I do like to prepare things the night before, clean up the dishes and any mess. Start fresh and easy the next day with it all ready to put in the oven and enjoy. Makes me feel efficient and in control LOL.

    • I agree Kathleen. Control of the meal and kitchen is my main goal. Anything I can finish and clean up before hand is yops in my book! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

  9. I’ve never heard of Strata before, I’m not sure if that’s just me or if it’s not a thing here in the UK. It sounds like a savoury version of our bread and butter pudding. Looks delicious and sounds idea for entertaining as you can make it the night before 🙂

    • I think is would be similar. It is a breakfast casserole you can make ahead of time. It is very good and convenient! Thanks for commenting your thoughts Julie! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

  22. I love breakfast for any meal, and this looks quick to put together, versatile and delish! As you know I am gluten free, I’ve found a great bread without gluten, but I never eat the ends of the loaf. This will give me something to use them for! Brilliant. I’ll throw them in the freezer and save to make this Strata. As always, you come through with a great recipe and a great solution to my “heel” issue! LOL

  35. Its sad how I barely ever cook turkey during the year and even more sad at how quickly I run out of ideas as to what to do with the left overs! Thanks so much for posting this at the Turn It Up Tuesday link party!

  38. I make some sort of quiche, strata, or fritatta for Christmas brunch every year too. I never thought to put turkey in mine though; what a great idea. I sure have plenty of it left!
