Turkey Cheese Pockets Recipes

POCKET PIES FILLED WITH LEFTOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Working with one disk of dough at a time, roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface. Using an overturned bowl about 5 inches in diameter as a guide, cut out three circles; set aside. Gather dough scraps, reroll, and repeat cutting process. Repeat process with remaining disk of dough.
• For each pocket pie, mix together a 1/4 cup of filling using turkey, mashed or sweet potatoes, stuffing, and/or cranberry sauce as desired. Place each 1/4 cup filling on one side of each dough circle. Moisten edges lightly with water and fold dough over filling to form a half circle. Pinch edges of dough together to seal and crimp with a fork.
• Place pocket pies on a prepared baking sheet; transfer to refrigerator until chilled slightly, about 10 minutes. Pierce each pie on the top twice using the tines of a fork and brush with egg.
• Transfer to oven and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let pies cool 5 minutes before serving. Pies can also be cooled and frozen, then reheated in the microwave.

TURKEY BROCCOLI CHEESE POCKETS

Steps:

• 1. Amounts are estimated and you can easily adjust for basically any number of pockets. Mix everything together in a large bowl.
• 2. For each pocket, you need two roll sections. You can also simply use one triangle for the bottom and one for the top. The rectangles are a little easier to seal when done, but both ways work well. For the rectangles, be sure to press the long edge firmly, to form one large piece.
• 3. Place 2-3 large spoonfuls of filling onto the dough.
• 4. Fold over for rectangles or place on top for triangles. Seal edges by pinching together firmly.
• 5. Place on a cookie sheet.
• 6. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Cool slightly and enjoy!!
