SAVORY TURKEY CRÉPES

I made these for my family on European Pancake Day. They were a total hit with all ages and a nice healthier and more nutritious alternative to the normal crepes with sugar, jam or ice-cream. The crepe recipe can be used for sweet as well.


Crèpes (approx. 12)

You need: 

1.5 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1.5 cup milk
butter or oil for frying

Mix everything together. Melt a little butter on a large frying pan. spread a thin layer of batter on  the pan. Pan fry at medium heat for a few minutes, then turn over (note: the first one has a tendency to go wrong - dunno why). Repeat until all batter is gone 


Meat filling: 


You need: 

1lbs ground turkey
1/2 red onion
1 tablespoon oil
1 medium carrot (grated)
2 celery sticks (chopped)
1 cup strained tomatoes or chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon oregano 
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 leaf of green cabbage finely chopped (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
Grated parmesan cheese to taste

Heat up the oil in a medium size pan and brown the onions and meat. Add everything else and let it simmer for 10 minutes on medium heat.

Put the filling on the crèpes (as shown in picture), roll and place in a lightly greased oven dish. Sprinkle a little grated parmesan cheese on top and place in the oven for 15 minutes at 390 degrees


Enjoy
