Turkey, Mushroom & Bacon Puff Pastry Pockets

Leftover turkey from Thanksgiving? Yield: 4 servings Cook Time: 20min ingredients: 1 pkg. (17.3 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed 4 slices bacon One 8-ounce package sliced mushrooms, roughly chopped 3 green onions, sliced 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard salt and pepper, to taste 1 1/2 cups chopped or shredded cooked turkey 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese 1 large egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat. 2. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove to paper towels to drain, then crumble. Remove all of the bacon fat from the skillet except for 1 tablespoon. 3. Add the mushrooms and onions to the skillet and saute over medium heat until softened. Stir in cream, Dijon and salt/pepper. Cook until reduced slightly and thickened. Set aside to cool a bit. 4. Assemble the pastries. Cut each sheet of Puff Pastry into 4 equal squares. Divide the mushroom mixture between 4 squares. Top with turkey, bacon and Swiss cheese. Roll out each of the remaining Puff Pastry squares so they're a little bit larger (or just use your fingers to press and stretch them). Place the second piece over the top of each with filling. Use a fork to seal the edges to form "pockets." Brush each square with egg wash and use a knife to poke a few slits in the top for steam to escape while baking. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve immediately. Source: RecipeGirl.com

Cheesy Chicken with Bacon and Avocado Quesadillas

Ingredients: • 8 medium flour tortilla shells • 3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces • salt and pepper to taste • 1/2 cup green onions, diced • 8 strips of bacon, cooked & crumbled • 1 to 2 avocado diced • mild cheddar cheese shredded • 2 tbsp butter • 2 limes

Instructions: 1. First thing first, cook the bacon, drain it well and crumble it. To reduce some of the fat, place it on paper towels. Don’t discard all of the bacon drippings, keep about a tsp of it and add the diced green onions to it and cook about 3 minutes until softened. 2. Add the chicken, make sure it’s cut into bite size pieces and keep sauteing for about 5 min until chicken is thoroughly cooked, turning over the chicken pieces, to make sure all sides are cooked. Add the salt and pepper and stir. 3. Remove the chicken mixture from the pan into a plate. 4. In a clean skillet, add a bit of the butter and melt. Add a tortilla and move it around until it’s buttery. Now the fun stuff begins. Add a little bit of the chicken and onion mixture to half of the tortilla, a bit of bacon, a bit of avocado and a bit or lots of cheese, depending on how you like it. 5. Now flip the other side of the tortilla over and pat it down. Now flip it over and cook on the other side until the other side is nice and golden. It looks amazing. Cut this into two pieces using a pizza cutter. Repeat these steps with the remaining tortillas. Serve this with some sour cream on the side and squeeze some limes over the quesadillas and you’ve got yourself an awesome meal.
