Turkey Hand Pies
- Serves: 4
- Prep Time: 15 min
- Cook Time: 18 min
Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed*
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
- 3 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
- ½ cup cranberry sauce
- 2 cups shredded leftover turkey
- 1 Tbsp dried minced onion
- Flaky salt
Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into four squares equal in size, 8 total.
In a small bowl combine the beaten egg with 2 tablespoons cold water.
Using a pastry brush, brush a ½ inch egg wash boarder all the way around the edge of each puff pastry square. This will help the pastry stick together when you fold it in half.
Equally divide the dijon mustard, spreading it on the inside of the pastry dough.
On one half of each of the pastries add 2 tablespoons mashed potatoes, followed by 3 tablespoons cheese, 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of turkey and 1 tablespoon cranberry sauce. Fold the pastry dough over the ingredients and press the edges down tight to seal.
Arrange prepared hand pies on a large parchment lined baking sheet.**
Brush the tops with remaining egg wash and sprinkle with minced onion and flaky salt.
Bake on the center rack for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
*One package of frozen puff pastry typically contains 2 sheets. Thaw in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight.
**If you don’t have a full size baking sheet, use two half-sheets and bake them in the oven at the same time, rotating positions halfway through.
