Meat and Cheese Foldovers

Submitted by Kree

"This recipe is a favorite of my friend Bevrs on the IBS boards. She says it's like the best cheeseburger you've ever had. I'm storing it here so I don't lose it. It looks like total comfort food! Use the turkey and Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls to make this decently healthy, and the soy cheese to make it dairy-free."

This was really easy to throw together. I used ground turkey. Chopped a whole small onion, added a clove of garlic, a scant 3/4 cups bbq sauce, and just sprinkled on some grated cheddar cheese rather than use slices, but basically I followed the recipe. I thought it was just ok, but Dh and dd absolutely loved it, and even Mr. Picky tried it, which is high praise indeed.

I had to give this 5 stars because DH keeps asking me to make it again! I added garlic and some crushed red peppers to the meat, along with diced onions as recommended by another reviewer. I also used pepper-jack cheese slices. The BBQ sauce adds a nice flavor, without looking like there's BBQ sauce in it. Really good. Next time I'll try some reduced-fat slices. Thank you for posting!

These went down a treat. I added a whole (chopped) small onion - I'm not much for measuring, and 2 cloves of garlic as well. The bbq sauce added a nice sweet/sour/spicy touch. Very easy to make - too easy to eat. Kids loved it.
