2. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add in the fresh mushrooms, green beans, diced onion, minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Sauté the mixture until the veggies are crisp-tender and fragrant, infusing the kitchen with delightful aromas.

3. Thicken with Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir continuously for about a minute. This helps to cook out the raw taste of the flour and will thicken the filling beautifully.

4. Add Cream: Pour in the cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a creamy, luscious sauce. Once thickened, remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.

5. Incorporate Turkey: Mix in the chopped turkey, along with the salt and pepper, into the cooling vegetable mixture. Allow the flavors to meld together for about 5 minutes, creating a harmonious filling that’s bursting with savory goodness.

6. Prepare Pastry Sheets: While the filling cools, take your puff pastry sheet and unfold it onto a clean, floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, creating the perfect vessels for your turnovers.

7. Fill and Seal: Divide the turkey mixture evenly among the pastry squares, spooning it into the center of each square. Brush the edges of the pastry with water to help them seal, then fold over the pastry to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges firmly to seal them shut, using a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

8. Bake to Perfection: Place your beautifully filled and sealed turnovers onto an ungreased baking sheet. Slide them into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn a glorious golden brown, with the aroma of freshly baked pastry wafting through the air.

9. Serve and Enjoy: Once golden and crispy, remove the turnovers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These Turkey Turnovers are perfect for a quick lunch, a satisfying snack, or a cozy dinner on a chilly evening. Enjoy every bite of their creamy, flavorful filling and flaky, buttery crust!

These Turkey Turnovers are a delightful way to reinvent your leftover holiday turkey, creating a meal that’s sure to please the whole family. With their creamy filling, fresh veggies, and golden pastry, they’re a true comfort food classic that’s perfect for any occasion!
