My mom's recipe for these flavorful pockets called for dough made from scratch, but I streamlined it by using refrigerated crescent rolls and an air fryer. My children love the turnovers plain or dipped in ketchup. They're also great with mustard.—Claudia Bodeker, Ash Flat, Arkansas

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) sauerkraut, rinsed, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, crumbling meat, 5-7 minutes; drain. Add sauerkraut and cheese.
  2. Preheat air fryer to 350°. Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into rectangles; pinch seams to seal. Place 1/2 cup beef mixture in the center of each rectangle. Bring corners to the center and pinch to seal. In batches, place turnovers in a single layer on a greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until golden brown, 12-15 minutes.
