unknown
List of Ingredients
1/2 cup leftover cooked turkey meat -- (white and/or
dark),
-- chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon finely cut fresh chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped green pepper
1/2 cup leftover turkey gravy
2 tablespoons dry sherry
salt and pepper
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons heavy cream
***for the pastry***
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup ice water -- (up to 1/2)
Recipe
1.Mix the turkey, parsley, chives, onion and green pepper with the
turkey gravy. Add the sherry and season well to taste. Preheat the
oven to 375' F.
2.For the pastry, sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Cut the butter
into the flour and rub the mixture with your fingertips until it
resembles coarse cornmeal. Add just enough ice water (the least
possible amount) to work the ingredients quickly into a firm dough.
3.On a lightly floured board, roll out the dough very thin, about 1/8
inch thick, and cut it into 4-inch squares. Put 1 tablespoon of the
turkey filling on each square. Fold the dough over the filling into a
triangle. Brush the edges with a little water and seal them securely.
4.Beat the egg yolk with the cream and use it to brush the tops of the
turnovers. Bake them on an ungreased baking sheet for about 15
minutes or until they are golden brown.
5.To serve, pile the freshly baked turnovers on a hot folded napkin on
a warmed serving plate and serve immediately.
