Serves 8

Ingredients:

2 Cups chopped cooked Shelton's Turkey

1 Can (16.3 oz) canned refrigerated biscuits

1 Cup leftover mashed potatoes

1/2 Cup leftover mashed sweet potatoes

1 1/2 Cups leftover Stuffing

1 1/2 Cups Turkey Gravy

(psst, if you don't have this stuff leftover, no worries, just add what you do have from your holiday meal)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Chop Turkey into 1/4 inch pieces and set aside

Mix mashed potatoes and mashed sweet potatoes in a bowl, set aside.

Roll one biscuit out to about 7 inches on a floured surface, keeping it as circular as possible.  Spread 2 Tablespoons of the potato mixture on one half of the rolled out biscuit.  Even distribute 3 Tablespoons of the chopped Turkey on the potato mixture.  Evenly distribute 2 Tablespoons of the stuffing over the Turkey.  Drizzle about 2 Tablespoons of gravy over the stuffing.  

Fold the biscuit over and pinch the edges together to form a seal.  

Repeat the process for the remaining biscuits and fillings.   (8 total)

Arrange pockets 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.  cut a 1 inch X on the top of each pocket to allow for steam to escape.  Bake on the center rack until the pocket is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
