Turnip Green Fried Pies





I know I'm not the only one that has seen articles scanned online only to be curious about what was on the other side.  I'm not going to leave you in suspense.

We decided to take this recipe for a spin.
We took several creative liberties by using spinach instead of turnip greens, substituted crescent roll dough for the pastry mentioned, and used an air fryer in lieu of traditional frying.


We also threw in some cream cheese to add a little more texture and flavor.
Once we put the rolls in the air fryer, we left them in for 8 minutes, flipped them, and finished them out for 8 more minutes.


Oh...my...word...these were super tasty!!!


These lasted no time at all.


we still had quite a bit of mixture left over so we decided to make little nuggets by adding some corn muffin mix and baking them for 25 minutes.


Wow...did this little experiment turn out excellent!


These we're gobbled up quick too!

Mods:
Frozen spinach instead of turnip greens.
Crescent roll dough instead of pastry.
Air fryer instead of traditional fryer.
Added cream cheese.

Final thoughts:
We did take a lot of liberties with this recipe but boy did it pay off.
The crescent rolls turned out amazing and so did the nuggets.
A huge 4 thumbs up from all the family!
I can see this one becoming a family favorite in the future.
