👨🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Alfredo Sauce
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute.
- Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until thick and smooth.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Make the Filling
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, turkey bacon, mozzarella, Parmesan, and ½ cup of the Alfredo sauce until well combined.
3. Stuff the Donuts
- Flatten each piece of biscuit/donut dough slightly.
- Add 2–3 tablespoons of filling to the center.
- Fold and pinch edges to seal completely, forming a round dough ball.
4. Cook the Donuts
Option 1 – Bake:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place filled donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
Option 2 – Fry:
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry donuts in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels.
5. Glaze and Finish
- Drizzle warm Alfredo sauce over each cooked donut.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, extra turkey bacon, or red pepper flakes.
💡 Tips for Success
- Seal them tightly: Crimp edges well to keep the filling inside.
- Chill the filling before stuffing to make handling easier.
- For even more flavor, brush baked donuts with garlic butter before adding sauce.
- Frying = crispier crust. Baking = lighter and easier cleanup.
