Homemade Thanksgiving Leftover Hot Pockets Recipes

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS HOT POCKETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Roll one pie dough round into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Trim circle to an 8 x 9 inch rectangle using a pizza cutter or knife. Cut in half vertically. Now cut in half horizontally. You will have 4 - 4 x 4.5-inch pieces. Place the dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pie dough round.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of the mashed potatoes onto each of the 4 dough pieces on the baking sheet. Top each with 1 tablespoon of stuffing and cranberry sauce. Evenly divide the turkey among the pie dough.
• Place the remaining pie dough pieces over topped dough and gently stretch so that the edges meet. Using a fork, crimp the edges so that they seal. Brush with whisked egg. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden and flaky.

Steps:

• Add flour, shortening and salt to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles sand.
• With the machine on, slowly add the water in a thin stream until the dough forms a ball (you may not need the entire cup of water - I usually go until my food processor blade won't spin anymore).
• On a lightly-floured surface, form the dough into two equal rounds.
• Place the rounds in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes.
• Beat the egg with one teaspoon of water. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400°.
• On the floured surface, cut the dough into 6-8 equal portions. Roll out into a thin round (not so thin it will tear; about 1/8" thick or so). Trim into a 6" round (I use a salad bowl as a guide, placing it on top and running a knife around the edge).
• Repeat with all of the dough. Any scraps I usually make some more.
• Place ingredients of your choice in the middle, leaving room for sealing the dough around the edge. Some ideas:.
• Taco - seasoned taco meat, topped with cheddar cheese.
• Pizza - pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni.
• Once you place the stuffing into the middle, brush the egg wash around the edges. Fold over (making a half-moon) and pinch the opening. Place onto a greased cookie sheet.
• Repeat with remaining rounds.
• Brush all of the hot pockets with the remaining egg wash.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
