Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). |
| 2 | On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed bread dough into a 12-inch square. |
| 3 | Using a knife, cut the dough into 9 equal-sized (4-inch) squares. |
| 4 | Cut each slice of corned beef and Swiss cheese in half diagonally to create triangular slices. |
| 5 | Place a slice of corned beef, a slice of Swiss cheese, and a pickle slice onto one half of each dough square. |
| 6 | Carefully fold the other half of the dough over the filling ingredients to create a turnover shape. |
| 7 | Press the edges of the dough firmly together to seal, and then use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security. |
| 8 | Using a sharp knife, make a few slashes on the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape during baking. |
| 9 | Arrange the turnovers on a lightly greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each one. |
| 10 | Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and crispy. |
| 11 | Serve hot, and if desired, accompany with Thousand Island dressing for dipping. |
