Turkey and Sun-dried Tomato Bread Pudding

1 tbsp canola oil
1 onion, chopped
*12 oz day old bread or rolls, cut in 1 inch cubes (i used a crusty olive bread)
4 eggs
2 cups whole milk
1 tsp truffle oil (optional)
1/2 cup sun-dried or slow roasted tomatoes, roughly chopped
2 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 cups cooked turkey, shredded
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
4 oz double Gloucester cheese, grated
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

*Note: If you only have fresh bread, dry the bread out in a 300 degree oven for about 1 hour, tossing occasionally. Do not toast or brown the bread.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place rack in upper-third of oven. Lightly grease a deep glass or ceramic loaf pan.

To a large mixing bowl add 2 eggs and two cups of whole milk. Whisk to combine thoroughly. Add bread cubes to mixture stir and let sit for about 30-45minutes until the egg mixture has been almost completely absorbed by the bread. Toss occasionally.

While the bread is soaking, place a saute pan over medium heat. Add canola oil to the pan. Once the pan and oil are hot add the chopped onion. Sweat the onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent. Remove from heat.

Once the bread has finished soaking, add the rest of the ingredients. Stir to combine evenly. Pour mixture into the lightly greased deep loaf pan. (It will be a tight fit but it should work.)

Place the loaf pan into a large deep rectangular baking dish. Pour hot water into the baking dish so that the water goes up to nearly half way the sides of the loaf pan, creating a water bath. The water bath will prevent the bread pudding from overcooking.

Carefully place in the upper third of a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes until top is golden brown and the bread pudding is cooked through. Let the bread pudding rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Goes great with a drizzle of leftover gravy! Enjoy!
