Pizza Pockets


Frozen Whole Wheat Roll Dough
Turkey Pepperoni and
Pasta or Pizza Sauce (look for ones low in sugar)
or
Cooked chicken Breast and
Lite Kraft BBQ Sauce
Low Fat Mozzarella Cheese (optional)

1. Defrost dough just until soft
2. Roll each dough ball into a 6" circle
3. Measure one serving size of your choice of meat
4. Mix meat and the accompanying sauce together
5. Place meat and sauce mixture in center of dough circle
6. Fold dough over to form a pizza pocket
7. Seal off edges of Pizza Pockets with a fork
8. Brush top of Pizza Pocket with egg whites
9. Let Pizza Pocket raise about 30 mins.
10. Bake at 350 until lightly browned, about 20 min.

Remember to lower the carbs by choosing a bread that is high in fiber (whole grain) and a sauce that is low in sugar, or sugar free. Balance these carbs. with the low fat protein in the cheese and meat you choose for the filling, there are many options, have fun!

My sister Leslie makes these ahead and freezes them in baggies to defrost and warm in microwave, for a health quick snack.
