POTATO POCKETS
Our young sons like to help me assemble potatoes, carrots and onions into foil packages that we can grill alongside the turkey. Just before serving, we top the steaming medley of vegetables with a sprinkling of cheese. - Denise Nebel, Wayland, Iowa

TURKEY AND POTATO POCKETS
This is a recipe thrown together based on what I had on hand. My husband loved it and told me to write it down, so here it goes. Let me know what you think. It's a savory little pastry that's fairly hearty and can be spiced a thousand different ways. The base is the turkey, potatoes, and pastry and the cook can make up the rest! I just threw this together without measuring so the measurements are just guesses. Prepare it to taste.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until softened but not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain.
- Cook and stir turkey in a skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; stir in potatoes, onion, salsa, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until sauce is reduced and no longer soupy, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro.
- Place 1 puff pastry sheet on each baking sheet. Cut pastry into thirds using the fold lines as a guide. Cut each third into 2 rectangles.
- Drop large spoonfuls of turkey-potato mixture on one side of each pastry rectangle. Fold pastry over filling and pinch edges to seal.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is puffed up and golden brown, about 1 hour.

POTATO POCKETS
Steps:
- Cover the potatoes with water in a large saucepan, cook until barely tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and run cool water over until cool enough to handle. Slice into about 1/2 inch thick slices. Combine with the garlic, mushrooms and onions. Toss with the soy sauce in a large bowl. Brush or spray the grill with oil, put the grill on medium heat. In a single layer grill the vegetables until lightly browned, and tender. Sprinkle with cheese just before serving.
Tips:
- For a crispier texture, bake the potato pockets at a higher temperature for a shorter amount of time.
- If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to spread the egg wash on the potato pockets.
- To make the potato pockets ahead of time, assemble them and freeze them unbaked. When you're ready to bake them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours.
- You can use any type of cheese that you like in the potato pockets. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
- If you don't have any fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Potato pockets are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give potato pockets a try! You won't be disappointed.
