TUNA TURNOVERS



Tuna Turnovers image

This is one of those recipes that is so beat up that it fell out of the book - The More with Less Cookbook by Doris Janzen Longacre. I learned a lot from this cookbook when I was a newlywed and new mother figuring out how to plan meals. These are great if you make your own biscuit dough but they're super easy if you use the refrigerated kind!

Categories     Tuna

Time 30m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup chopped celery
mayonnaise (enough to moisten)
2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish (not in orginal recipe, but that's how we like it)
1 teaspoon chives (or onion, finely chopped, I never add this actually, but if you love onions, go for it!)
biscuit dough (homemade or refrigerated)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except biscuit dough.
  • Prepare biscuit dough - or open the tube :).
  • If homemade dough, roll out to 1/8-to 1/4 inch thickness. If premade biscuit dough, flatten out each biscuit a bit - I divide them in half if they're the big fat type.
  • Cut into 4-inch squares or rounds.
  • Place about 2 1/2 T filling onto each dough piece, fold over and pinch to seal.
  • I don't bother sealing these all the way - just roll them up and pinch closed across the top. Some of the filling may sneak out the ends, but I prefer them this way.
  • Bake 15 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
  • To freeze: Bake as directed and allow to cool. Wrap in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag. Seal, pushing out as much air as possible. Label and freeze.
  • To serve: Allow to thaw in fridge or microwave. Good warm or cold.

POTATO CHIP ENCRUSTED TUNA TURNOVERS



Potato Chip Encrusted Tuna Turnovers image

I was recently given quite a few cans of tuna, so I dug into my collection of tuna recipes to see what I could come up with. I used to make these turnovers for my daughter when she was little; she loved them! Sometimes I would wrap them well in aluminum foil, put them in a wide mouth thermos, and they would still be warm come lunch time at school. These are a snap to prepare, and are thrifty and good. The potato chip crust makes them a little 'special', for kids and adults! They can be made into a hearty appetizer by tearing the dough for each biscuit in half and halving the filling.

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 - 6.5 oz can(s) tuna, drained and flaked
2 0r 3 dash(es) black pepper
- salt, to taste
1/2 cup(s) cheddar cheese, grated
1/3 cup(s) sliced green olives (or black)
1/3 cup(s) mayonnaise
1 can(s) refrigerated 'big & flakey' biscuits
1 - egg, beaten
1 cup(s) crushed potato chips

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Combine the tuna with the salt and pepper, cheese, olives, and mayonnaise.
  • Separate the biscuit dough into 10 biscuits; roll or press each into a four or five-inch circle. Spoon about 1/4-cup of the tuna mixture onto the center of each biscuit. Fold the dough in half over the filling; press edges with a fork to seal. Make two or three 1/2-inch slits on each top.
  • Brush each turnover on each side with the beaten egg, then press both sides into the crushed potato chips. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 18 to 24 minutes until deep golden brown.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, brush the turnovers with an egg wash before baking.
  • To save time, use pre-made pie crust.
  • If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use yellow mustard instead.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the tuna and add extra vegetables, such as diced carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
  • Serve the turnovers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, ranch dressing, or ketchup.

Conclusion:

Easy Tuna Fish Turnovers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a flaky crust and a creamy, flavorful filling, these turnovers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
