PESTO CHICKEN TURNOVERS
When it comes to food, I'm all about anything in a pocket-pita bread, bierocks, empanadas and more. These Italian-inspired turnovers are great for dinner and even better the next day. For smaller ones, use a single crescent roll with a level tablespoon of filling. -Greg Munoz, Sacramento, California
