Notes
TIP:These bites make a perfect starter for your parties or family get-togethers. Get a head start by making the first two steps ahead of time and store the pastry cups and cooked turkey for up to 2 days before you need them. You can easily whip up a double batch of cups and mix up your toppings to create different flavours. Try:
Sweet and Spicy:
Ground turkey + red pepper jelly + brie + jalapeno
Island:
Ground turkey + jerk sauce + cubed pineapple + cilantro
Italian:
Ground turkey + pesto + sundried tomato + mozzarella
Cheesy Mushroom:
Ground turkey + mushrooms + onions + cheddar
