Ingredients

  • 2 sheets 12 inches square puff pastry rolled out to about 14 inches square
  • 1 1/2 pounds cold sliced leftover turkey about 4 inch wide slices
  • 2 cups leftover stuffing
  • 1 cup aprox cold leftover turkey gravy

Instructions

  1. Roll pastry sheets out to about 14 inches square. Cut the sheet in half to make 2 square turnovers.
  2. Begin placing sliced turkey about 2 inches from the edge in the center of the pastry. Fan the turkey slices out to cover half of the pastry rectangle. As you place each slice of turkey down, to it with a spoonful of turkey gravy, so that there is gravy between all the turkey slices. Top the turkey with about a half cup of leftover stuffing.
  3. Brush all the edges with an egg wash made from whisking together 1 egg and 2 tbsp water.
  4. Bring the two edges of the dough together until they overlap at least an inch over the top of the turkey and stuffing. Fold the remaining open edges toward the center overlapping about half an inch to an inch.
  5. Flip the entire turnover over so that the seams are on the bottom and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet a couple of inches apart. Cut a couple of 1 inch slits in the top of the pastry and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to make sure the pastry is very cold when it is popped into a 425, degree F oven for 20 minutes before turning the heat down to 350 degrees F for an additional 10 minutes or until the gravy begins to bubble and the pastry is evenly golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes to cool before serving.
