Turkey “Pops”

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 12-15 minutes

Ingredients:
1 lb (454 g) ground Ontario turkey
2 tsp (10 mL) fresh thyme
½ cup (125 mL) milk or cream, divided
1/4 cup (60 mL) onion, finely chopped
4 1/2 cups (130 g) cornflakes, crushed, divided
salt and pepper, to taste
4 oz (114 g) medium-hard cheese
12 6″ bamboo or metal skewers

Instructions:
Pre-heat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
In a bowl, mix the Ground Turkey, thyme, 1/4 cup milk or cream, the onion and 2/3 cup cornflakes; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide into 12 portions.
Cut the cheese into 12 equal sticks and thread onto 12 skewers (if using bamboo, soak for 30 minutes).
Mold some meat around each cheese piece, shaping into ovals.
Place the remaining milk into a bowl and the remaining cornflakes onto a plate.
Dip each “lollipop” into the milk, then coat with the cornflakes.
Place on a lightly greased sheet pan and bake in the pre-heated oven until cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
Serve with your favourite dipping sauce.
