Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray your air fryer basket.
- In a bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt and self-rising flour until a smooth, cohesive dough forms. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough piece into an oval or rectangle, roughly 6x4 inches in size.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey or chicken, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Cook, breaking up the meat, until it is browned and cooked through.
- On one half of each rolled-out dough piece, layer the pizza sauce, cooked ground meat, shredded part-skim mozzarella, and any optional diced veggies or turkey pepperoni.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a pocket. Crimp the edges firmly with a fork to seal them completely.
- Brush the tops of the hot pockets with egg wash (or spray with olive oil). Use a small knife to poke 2-3 small vent holes on the top of each hot pocket.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Carefully remove the hot pockets from the oven or air fryer. Allow them to cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving to prevent burns and let the filling set.
Notes
These hot pockets are perfect for meal prepping. You can store them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days and reheat them in the microwave or air fryer. Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite vegetables or lean meats.
