Ingredients:

For Turkey Pockets:

  • 1 lb thick-sliced roasted turkey (from the deli, “dinner thick” slices)
  • 1 box Stove Top stuffing mix (or any stuffing mix of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups water or broth (for stuffing)
  • 4 large flour tortillas or puff pastry sheets (for the pockets)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

For Mashed Potatoes:

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Green Bean Casserole:

  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) green beans, drained
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup crispy fried onions
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Turkey Gravy:

  • 1 packet Knorr Turkey Gravy mix
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the stuffing:
    • In a pot, bring 1 1/2 cups of water or broth and 1/4 cup butter to a boil.
    • Stir in the Stove Top stuffing mix, remove from heat, and let sit covered for about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork once done.
  2. Make the turkey pockets:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Lay out the tortillas or puff pastry sheets on a flat surface.
    • Place a few thick slices of roasted turkey in the center of each tortilla/pastry.
    • Top the turkey with a generous scoop of the prepared stuffing.
    • Fold the sides of the tortilla or pastry over the filling to form a pocket. If using puff pastry, brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
    • Place the pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Prepare mashed potatoes:
    • Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
    • Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  4. Make green bean casserole:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and green beans.
    • Pour the mixture into a casserole dish and bake for 25 minutes.
    • After 25 minutes, sprinkle crispy fried onions on top and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the onions are golden brown.
  5. Prepare turkey gravy:
    • In a saucepan, whisk together the Knorr turkey gravy packet with 1 1/2 cups of water.
    • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the turkey pockets with a side of mashed potatoes and green bean casserole.
    • Drizzle the turkey pockets and mashed potatoes with the roasted turkey gravy for extra flavor.

Enjoy your comforting meal of Turkey Pockets with all the delicious sides!
