Apart from the holidays, I have been making this recipe for a while now. I always trust this recipe and serve it as an appetizer for my fancy servings. My guests love it, and they ask for the recipe and compliment my skills.
Why will you love the turkey pockets recipe?
It is entirely foolproof because you do not need complex ingredients and equipment for the recipe.
The recipe can be customized with your favorite stuffings and gravy. You can use your favorite cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan.
It can be served as a side and as a complete meal.
You can add ham, chicken, and beef to the recipe if you don’t have turkey.
You will be using the Knorr packet to make turkey gravy. If you want, you can add some ranch dressing as a substitute.
Should I cook a turkey with aluminum foil?
If you want moist turkey, you should always make it with aluminum foil. Otherwise, bake it the same way I did to get roasted results. It is thoroughly cooked and tastes so good.
Can I make the recipe before time?
Of course, you can. Just make the turkey gravy once you are going to serve or bake the meat. You can wrap the turkey and store it in an airtight container with aluminum foil. It will be fresh, and you can bake it whenever the guests come.
You can also freeze the recipe after baking it and storing it in an airtight container for two months. It tastes perfect, and you will have a complete meal ready for your busy weekends.
