Spinach and Kale Turnovers

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

1 garlic clove, chopped

3 cups chopped kale, (about 1 small bunch)

1 (6-ounce) package fresh baby spinach

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3/4 cup (3 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

1 (11.3-ounce) can refrigerated dinner roll dough

(such as Pillsbury)

Cooking spray

2 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese

 

 

 

 

 

Preheat oven to 375°.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high

heat. Add onion; sauté 10 minutes or until tender and

lightly browned. Add garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add kale

and spinach; sauté 8 minutes or until kale is tender.

Stir in pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Remove from heat;

cool slightly. Stir in feta.

 

Separate dough into 8 pieces. Roll each dough piece

into a 5-inch circle. Spoon about 1/3 cup kale mixture

on half of each circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border.

Fold dough over kale mixture until edges almost meet.

Bring bottom edge of dough over top edge; crimp edges

of dough with fingers to form a rim.

 

Place turnovers on a baking sheet coated with cooking

spray. Lightly coat turnovers with cooking spray;

sprinkle each turnover with about 1 teaspoon Parmesan.

Bake at 375° for 18 minutes or until golden brown. Let

stand at least 5 minutes before serving; serve warm or

at room temperature.

 

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 turnover)

In addition to being tasty, kale is a good source of

lutein, benefitting eye health, and vitamins A and C.

Serve as a side dish with steak or roast chicken, or

enjoy two turnovers as a meatless entrée. They are

great made ahead and brown-bagged; reheat in a

microwave or toaster oven.

 

ChupaNote: add 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes to hot oil

before adding onions (or hot sauce, or chile garlic

paste or harissa) for some heat. Next time will add a

handful of minced red bell pepper.
