Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked ground turkey

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups pancake mix (or waffle mix)

1 1/2 cups milk

1 large egg

1 tablespoon melted butter

Cooking spray or extra butter for the waffle iron

1/4 cup sliced green onions (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

    Prepare the Turkey Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground turkey, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated. Set aside.

      Make the Waffle Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pancake (or waffle) mix, milk, egg, and melted butter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

        Form Mini Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of the waffle batter onto the waffle iron, spreading it slightly. Then, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture on top of the batter. Top it with another 1/4 cup of waffle batter, covering the turkey mixture.

          Cook the Waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

            Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the mini cheesy turkey waffle melts and place them on a serving plate. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy them warm, with your favorite dipping sauce or even a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet-savory touch!
