Ingredients

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1 cup chopped turkey meat
  • 1 cup leftover stuffing
  • ⅓ cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 egg wash

Toppings

  • 1 cup gravy
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Remove the puff pastry sheets from the packaging. Cut each sheet into four equal squares. Take one square and cover the rest with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
  • Prepare the egg wash by beating one large egg with one tablespoon of water in a small bowl.
  • Brush the egg wash along the edges of the square. Place a tablespoon of cranberry sauce in the middle of the square, making sure none reaches the edge of the pastry.
  • Top with stuffing and turkey, as much as you can fit in the puff pastry.
  • Fold the pastry over the filling into a triangle. Press the edges together with a fork to seal. Turn over and press on the opposite side as well. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Repeat with each pastry square, placing on the baking sheet with enough room between the turnovers so they won't stick together.
  • Brush each pastry with the remaining egg wash, giving each a nice, even coat.
  • Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the turnovers are golden brown and puffed, and the interior is at least 165°F.
  • Remove and let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then serve with salt, pepper and hot gravy for dipping.

Notes

I do not like mixing my leftovers, so I make layers in the turnover. You can mix your leftovers together and then fill the turnovers if you want.
