"I have made this recipe to take to several different functions and it has been a real hit every time - lots of raves and everyone wants the recipe! Don't let the spinach scare you - those who didn't realize it had spinach in it, tried it and loved it!"

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 24 appetizers

ingredients

• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, cooked & well drained
• 1⁄2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1⁄3 cup light cream cheese spread
• 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
• 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 24 slices deli turkey (I use Oscar Mayer Deli Style Shaved Oven Roasted Turkey Breast)

directions

1. PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix all ingredients except turkey until well blended.
3. FLATTEN turkey slices; place 1 slice in each of 24 miniature muffin pan cups.
4. Fill each with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spinach mixture.
5. BAKE 15 minutes or until heated through.
6. Serve warm.
7. NOTE: After making these several times, I find it easier to lay out the 24 slices of turkey on a sheet of freezer paper, place 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spinach mixture in the center of each, gather the edges up to form a sack and then place it in the muffin cup.

I made a few amendments to this recipe in order to accommodate ingredients on hand. I used fresh spinach, garlic and herb cream cheese and deli-sliced ham. Due to the flavored cream cheese, I omitted the onion and garlic powders. I whirled all of the ingredients (except the ham) in my mini food processor before scooping it into the ham "shells". This application made it a bit more like a spinach dip, but still delicious. Hubby ate 5 of these before I could get them on a serving plate. LOL Thanks for the simple recipe with great flavor.
