Pizza Pockets a la Noemi

I got this recipe from my friend, Noemi's, super awesome blog. You can find the link to the original recipe here: Cooking Through Life: Pizza Pockets.

These were so fast and easy to make, and they satisfied the pizza craving I pretty much always have without being as bad for me as real pizza.


Ingredients (makes 8 pizza pockets)
-1 package reduced fat turkey pepperoni
-2 packages reduced fat Pillsbury crescent rolls
-1 green onion
-1/2 red onion
-small jar of pizza sauce
~8 oz fresh mozzarella

Steps.
(preheat oven to 375)
1. Roll out one can of crescent rolls. Place two triangles together and pinch perforated edges together with your fingers. Repeat with second can.

2. Put about a tablespoon of pizza sauce in the middle of your dough.
3. Add about 6-7 pepperoni slices in the middle and green pepper, red onion, and mozzarella on the sides.


4. Next, fold the sides of the dough in toward the center until they almost meet (you'll probably need to stretch and work the dough a little bit to do this). Seal all edges except for the center seam.
5. Shove a couple more pieces of pepperoni in the center seam.
6. Bake until golden brown (only took about 10 minutes in my oven).
