Name: Spinach Turnovers
Ingredients: 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened; 3/4 cup butter, softened; 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 5 bacon strips, diced; 1/4 cup finely chopped onion; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained; 1 cup 4% cottage cheese; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1 large egg, beaten; Salsa, optional

Prepare crust dough

In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture (dough will be stiff). Turn onto a floured surface; gently knead 10 times. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Cook filling ingredients

In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon; reserve 1 tablespoon drippings. Saute onion and garlic in drippings until tender. Remove from heat; stir in bacon, spinach, cottage cheese and seasonings. Cool.

Roll dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into 3-in. circles; brush edges with egg.

Place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling on each circle. Fold over; seal edges. Prick tops with a fork. Brush with egg.

Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with salsa if desired.
