Flakey Ground Turkey Pockets with Smoked Gouda
Serves 4
 
Ingredients
 
1 onion, diced
Extra virgin olive oil spray
1 pound lean organic, free range ground turkey
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard 
3/4 tablespoon drained prepared horseradish
1-2 tablespoon honey
3-4 ounces of shredded smoked Gouda cheese
8 sheets Phyllo dough

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a large skillet with olive oil and heat over medium high heat. Sauté the onion until soft, about five minutes.  Add the turkey and cook until just beginning to brown. Drain the meat and return to the skillet.  Season with salt and pepper.  Remove from heat and add the mustard, horseradish and honey.  (Taste now to see if you would like additional salt and/or pepper.)

2. Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough and spray with olive oil spray then lay the second sheet and spray again.  Mound 1/4 of the meat mixture and 1/4 of the cheese then fold the sides of the phyllo up and over so it makes a pocket.  Spray the top with olive oil spray.  Repeat with the remaining three.

3. Bake in the oven until the phyllo browns, 12-15 minutes.  

4.  Serve with steamed veggies and enjoy!
