Place potato crust in cold oven. Set temperature to 350ºF. Heat 10 minutes. Remove crust from oven and continue with following steps for the filling.
FILLING: In layers, sprinkle turkey ham, remaining onion and cheese evenly over crust.
In a small bowl, combine milk, 4 eggs, mustard, and 1/4 tsp. white pepper; mix well. Pour over ingredients in crust.
Bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
