| 1. | In 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook leeks in butter about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened; remove from heat. |
| 2. | Mix bread cubes, leeks, turkey and dill weed. Spread bread mixture in ungreased square baking dish, 8x8x2 inches. Sprinkle with cheese. Mix remaining ingredients; pour over cheese. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours. |
| 3. | Heat oven to 325ºF. Uncover and bake 50 to 55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. |
|
| The flavor of leeks is similar to garlic and onion but is much milder. If leeks aren't available, you can use regular onions or green onions instead. |
|
| If you love ham, substitute 1 cup chopped fully cooked ham for the turkey. You can also try Cheddar or Swiss cheese instead of the mozzarella. |
|
| Add a splash of red and green! Sprinkle baked strata with chopped red bell peppers and sliced green onions. Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill weed. |
