Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey, 93% lean
- 1 large egg, optional
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 to 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare all ingredients as needed.
- In a bowl, combine ground turkey, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. If using, add the egg and mix thoroughly.
- Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions.
- On the baking sheet, shape each portion into a thin oval, about 5 to 6 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Cut the parchment paper around each oval for easy folding later.
- Spread cream cheese over half of each oval, then layer on spinach, cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella, leaving the other half free of filling.
- Fold the filled half over and press the edges firmly to seal each pocket.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan on top of each pocket.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 F and the cheese is golden brown.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving each pocket whole.
Notes
Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite vegetables or cheeses.
Make sure the pockets are sealed well to prevent any filling from leaking during baking.
