Healthy Breakfast Pockets


Yield: 16 Breakfast Pockets

Ingredients
Dough
·         1 pouch yeast
·         1/2 c warm water
·         3/4 c fat free evaporated milk
·         1/2 c vegetable oil
·         1/4 c sugar
·         1 egg
·         1 tsp salt
·         2 cup whole wheat flour
·         1 ½ all-purpose flour

Filling
·         1 lb sausage (I used the jenni-o Italian flavored ground turkey)
·         1 ¾ cup of liquid eggs (or 7 eggs)
·         1 cup chopped turkey ham
·         1 package weight watchers shredded cheese
·         1 bell pepper chopped
·         1/2 tsp salt
·         1/2 tsp pepper
·         1/2 tsp garlic salt
Instructions
Dough:
1.       In a bowl, dissolve yeast in the water.
2.       Add milk, oil, sugar, egg, salt, and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth.
3.       Add enough flour until it makes a soft dough but do not knead. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Filling:
4.       Cook the sausage and pepper over medium heat until browned. Drain. Add the eggs, turkey ham, and spices. Cook and stir until set. Sprinkle with cheese and keep warm.
Assembling the pockets:
5.       Preheat oven to 350°.
6.       Punch down the dough and cut into 16 equal pieces.
7.       Roll each piece into 7 in circle on a floured surface. Top with 1/3 c filling, fold, and pinch shut. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
To freeze:
8.       Allow to cool on the baking sheet. Once cooled, place in the freezer until frozen. Store in a ziploc bag in the freezer for 3-6 months. To reheat, place on a paper towel and microwave for 1 1/2-2 minutes.
