Best 4 Meat Pillows Recipes

PESTO PIZZA PILLOWS

Steps:

• Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 365 degrees F.
• Lay out the wonton wrappers on your work surface. Brush each entire wrapper with egg wash. Top each with a heaping tablespoon of mozzarella, a crumble of sausage, 1/2 teaspoon pesto and 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan, leaving space around the edges. Fold the corners of each wrapper into the center to make a square. Press to seal.
• Fry the sealed pockets in 2 batches, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown all over, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Season lightly with salt and sprinkle with Parmesan while still hot. Serve hot, with marinara for dipping.

CHICKEN PILLOWS

Steps:

• Mix chicken, softened butter and cream cheese together.
• Place by heaping spoons full in the middle of the crescent roll and roll up.
• Roll crescent roll in melted butter and then in bread crumbs.
• Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees until brown, about 10-15 minutes.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and chicken gravy.

BEEF CURRY PILLOWS

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef with the onion. Remove from pan and drain.
• In the same pan heat the curry paste for a couple minutes, stirring frequently. (Be careful not to scorch.).
• Add coconut milk, brown sugar and lime juice to the curry paste and stir with whisk until smooth. You can adjust the amounts of curry, sugar and lime at this point.
• Add potatoes and carrots and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir frequently. Add additional liquid (chicken stock, water, coconut milk)ONLY if necessary. But just a little as you don't want too much liquid when you're finished.
• Stir in the reserved ground beef and onions and the cilantro (if using).
• Place in a bowl and chill for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400º.
• Roll out defrosted puff pastry on lightly floured surface. Work with one sheet at a time, keeping the other sheet in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
• Roll into a 15x15-inch square. Trim and cut to make 9 5x5-inch squares.
• Brush edges of each square with beaten egg mixture.
• Place heaping 1/3 cup of chilled beef mixture in center.
• Bring up each corner to the top center and seal edges. This makes it look sort of like a pinwheel. (If you'd like, you can just fold in half to make triangles.).
• Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining puff pastry.
• Brush pillows with egg wash and bake at 400º for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve with additional chopped cilantro sprinkled on top.
