How to Make Turkey Turnovers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, 1 cup trimmed and chopped green beans, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary.
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 7-10 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1 cup heavy cream until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  6. Stir in 2 cups cooked and shredded turkey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Let the mixture cool slightly for 5 minutes.
  7. Unfold 1 sheet (14.1 ounces) of frozen puff pastry and cut it into 8 equal squares.
  8. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the turkey mixture into the center of each pastry square.
  9. Brush the edges of each pastry square with a little water. Fold over to form a triangle, pressing firmly to seal the edges. Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish.
  10. Place the turnovers on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
