Turkey Broccoli Cheese Pockets image

I came up with this one when looking for a different way to use leftover turkey, that the whole family could enjoy. They became an instant hit. We make them in larger batches and it's easy to adjust the amounts to taste. Some prefer more cheese or you could use different varieties.

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2-3 c chopped turkey
1 bag(s) cooked, chopped broccoli (12 oz)
12 oz shredded cheddar cheese
2 tube(s) refrigerated crescent rolls

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!!

These are so easy to make for a quick hot lunch and taste so much better then the pockets you can buy in the store. You can also use jarred pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese to make pizza pockets as well.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 27m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon mayonnaise or 1 tablespoon Miracle Whip
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup turkey, finely chopped
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 (7 1/2 ounce) can refrigerated biscuits (10 biscuits)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees (205 celsius).
  • Mix cream cheese, mayo, and mustard in a small bowl.
  • Add turkey and cheese; mix well and set aside.
  • Press or roll out each biscuit to a 3 1/2 inch round.
  • Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each biscuit round.
  • Fold dough over the filling to make a small turnover shape; seal edges by pressing firmly together.
  • Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Serve hot.
  • To make ham pockets, replace turkey with chopped ham and mozzarella with shredded cheddar cheese.
  • These can be made in advance and frozen for a quick after school snack. Microwave them wrapped in paper towels until hot (1 to 2 minutes).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make your turkey cheese pockets taste their best. Look for fresh turkey, shredded cheese, and flavorful bread.
  • Don't overcook the turkey. Overcooked turkey can be dry and tough. Cook the turkey until it is just cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. You can use any type of cheese you like in your turkey cheese pockets. Try using a combination of shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses for a classic flavor.
  • Season the turkey and cheese mixture. Add some salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the turkey and cheese mixture for extra flavor.
  • Use a thick bread. A thick bread will help to hold the turkey and cheese mixture together. Look for a bread that is about 1 inch thick.
  • Cook the turkey cheese pockets until they are golden brown. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Turkey cheese pockets are a quick and easy snack or meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for packed lunches, picnics, or potlucks. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, there is sure to be a turkey cheese pocket that everyone will love.
