  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • Bacon
  • Onion
  • Carrot

How to Make Bacon Turnovers

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup grated carrots, 1/2 cup grated potatoes, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 4 slices cooked bacon (chopped), 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or your favorite sauce), and 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup skim milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  5. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  6. Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle.
  7. Place 1/4 of the filling in the center of each circle.
  8. Brush the edges of each circle with a little water, then fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges to seal.
  9. Place the turnovers onto a greased baking sheet.
  10. Prick each turnover several times with a fork.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving. Freeze for later enjoyment; reheat in the microwave for 3-5 minutes on high.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
