Turkey Brie Turnovers

The perfect use for leftover Thanksgiving turkey. And if you're already out this recipe might make you want to go buy more. I know what you're thinking.  No more turkey!  If thats the case substitute the turkey for any other meat. Ham, Chicken.  Really anything with melter brie wrapped in puff pastry is going to be delicious.


Ingredients:
1 cup shredded turkey (hand torn)
4 slices of brie (any size desired)
1 sheet thawed puff pastry
4 tbsp melted butter
Confectioners sugar
Cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 375 degress
2. Cut your puff pastry into 4 even size squares

3. Place 1/4 cup of the shredded turkey in the center of each square
4. Place a slice of brie on top of the turkey

5. Gently fold the puff pastry over into a triangle so the edges meet
6. Press the sides together with your fingers, then use the prongs of a fork to make indentations all the way around the edges

7. Poke a hole in the top of the turnover with a knife or with your fork
8. Lightly coat the top of the puff pastry with melted butter so it will brown well
9. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until top of turnover is golden brown
10. Sprinkle with a bit of confectioners sugar and a pinch of cinnamon

I know that the sugar and cinnamon with savory items like turkey and brie sound strange but trust me, its amazing!  And these little bites are totally reminiscent of the holidays.
