Help Needed: Looking for a Recipe to Satisfy Client's Request

[lockhartkitchen]

My client once had a recipe at a show that she would like for her show in October. I've searched everywhere and thought someone might know what recipe she wants. She describes it as a turkey like popover that had cream cheese in it. I was thinking a wreath, which would look like a popover when given an individual slice. Any ideas? I can't find any recipes that have cream cheese in it, that sound close to what she had.

This doesn't have cream cheese, but it does have mayo....


Turkey Cranberry Wreath

2 pack. crescent rolls 8 oz. each
1/2 cup mayo
2 tablespoons honey dijon mustard

Kelly,Thanks, this is the one I was thinking she might have had. If I can't find one that has cream cheese, she might have mistaken cream cheese for mayo and this would be a great one for October. I told her it would give guests an idea of what to do with left over turkey.

The season I signed, the featured technique was the popover puff. There was an apple version, and a chicken version (that could be made with turkey - I actually suggest this recipe as a great way to use leftover roast turkey).Lemony Chicken Popover PuffPopover Puff
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1 cup milk
6 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon saltChicken & Vegetable Filling
2 medium carrots, peeled
1 cup sugar snap peas, cut in half diagonally
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 lemon
1 can (10 1/2 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups diced cooked chicken (12 ounces)
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons All-Purpose Dill Mix
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese1. Preheat oven to 450ºF. For popover puff, place butter in small microwave-cooker; microwave, covered, on HIGH 30 seconds or until melted. Measure 1 tablespoon of the butter into bottom of a deep dish baker; brush over bottom only. In a bowl, combine remaining butter, milk and eggs. In a bowl, stir together flour and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture; whisk 1 minute or until smooth. Pour batter into baker. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF; continue baking 10-15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.2. Meanwhile, prepare chicken and vegetable filling. Using a crinkle cutter, cut carrots in half lengthwise then crosswise into 1/4-inch slices to measure 1 cup. Cut snap peas in half. Chop onion. Place carrots, snap peas, onion and butter in microwave-cooker. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender; set aside.3. Juice lemon using a juicer to measure 2 tablespoons juice. Finely dice bell pepper. In clean a bowl, combine lemon juice, bell pepper, soup, chicken and dill mix; mix well. Microwave on HIGH 4-5 minutes or until hot, stirring once. Grate cheese. Add cheese and half of the vegetable mixture into filling; mix gently.4. Remove puff from oven to cooling rack; let stand 3 minutes or until puff begins to fall, forming a shell. If necessary, use a paring knife to cut around sides of puff to loosen from baker.5. Spoon filling into center of puff. Arrange remaining vegetable mixture around edges of filling. Slice and serve.Yield: 8 servings or 16 sample servingsNutrients per serving: Calories 360, Total Fat 19 g, Saturated Fat 8 g, Cholesterol 220 mg, Carbohydrate 22 g, Protein 23 g, Sodium 650 mg, Fiber 2 gCook's Tip: Dried dill weed can be substituted for the All-Purpose Dill Mix, if desired.
