A delightful twist on a classic tuna turnover, these savory tuna pockets are easy to prepare and packed with flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a golden crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, celery, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and chives until well mixed.
Ensure the filling is evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Keep the pastry cold for easier handling.
Cut the pastry into 4-inch squares.
Use a sharp knife or a pastry cutter for clean edges.
Place a spoonful of the filling onto each square, fold over to form a triangle, and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage during baking.
Place the pockets on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Let the pockets cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
