Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Skim milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 pound Lean ground turkey
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Bread crumbs
• 0 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, skim milk, eggs, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Pour in a small amount of batter, swirling the skillet to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer. Cook for 2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another 1 minute. Repeat until all the batter is used, separating the crepes with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey, remaining salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon.

Step 5

Allow the turkey mixture to cool slightly, then divide it evenly among the prepared crepes, placing it in the center of each.

Step 6

Fold the sides of the crepes over the filling, then roll them up tightly to form neat parcels.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each filled crepe in the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 9

Arrange the krokiety on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and crisp. Serve immediately.
