A delightful way to use up your holiday leftovers, these turkey puff pastry parcels are both delicious and easy to prepare.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the onions and mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes.
Ensure the mushrooms release their moisture for a better texture.
Cut the puff pastry sheets into squares and place a portion of turkey stuffing in the center of each.
Keep the puff pastry cold for easier handling.
Top the stuffing with turkey meat, sautéed onions and mushrooms, and a dollop of cranberry sauce.
Distribute the filling evenly for consistent flavor.
Fold the puff pastry over the filling and seal the edges with a fork.
Use a little water to help seal the edges securely.
Beat the egg with milk and brush the mixture over the pastry parcels.
This step ensures a golden and shiny finish.
Bake the parcels in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Serve the parcels warm with additional cranberry sauce or gravy on the side.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an elegant presentation.
