Steps:
- Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in farina and reduce heat. Whisk vigorously over very low heat until mixture is smooth, thick, and detaches from the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a muffin pan.
- Stir egg and honey into the cooled farina and whisk until smooth. Add walnuts, apricots, orange extract, and orange peel. Stir well to combine.
- Work with 1 phyllo sheet at a time, covering the rest with a tea towel so they won't dry out. Fold phyllo sheet in half widthwise, then cut it in half widthwise with scissors. Place each of the phyllo pieces in a muffin cup and gently press down so it fills the cup and sits on the bottom. Proceed the same way with the rest of the phyllo sheets.
- Distribute the filling among the muffin cups. Pinch the phyllo tops together with your fingertips to seal. Drizzle tops with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tops start to brown, about 15 minutes. Use a dinner knife to loosen pastries out of the muffin cups and transfer to a baking sheet. Continue baking until evenly browned, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- Serve lukewarm or at room temperature.

LEFTOVER TURKEY & FIXIN' PHYLLO PACKETS
One year when I was a kid, my great-aunt Helen visited us for Thanksgiving. I have this memory of her and my mom in the kitchen having fun creating a clever way to "re-package" thanksgiving leftovers. I couldn't have been older than 6 or 8 years old but my mom never tried it again. As an adult the memory stuck with me and here is how it came out...its so easy! And you can substitute the ingredients with whatever left-overs suit your taste.

Steps:
- Mix together the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy in a large bowl.
- Cut the stack of Phyllo Dough in half both directions, creating four stacks of rectangles. Start with one rectangle, covering the rest with a damp towel to keep moist as you work. Brush melted butter on the first sheet. Repeat this process with two additional sheets. Place a large scoop of the leftover mixture to the center and fold over edges to seal in a rectangle shape. Be careful not to over fill and seal well. Repeat this process until you have used up all of your leftover mixture.
- Place the phyllo packages on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15-17 minutes, or until flaky and golden brown.
- You can make these in any size or shape with any mixture of leftovers desired. Also, they are freezable for up to 2 months.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to your packets. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, broccoli, and mushrooms.
- Don't be afraid to get creative with your seasonings. A little garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs can go a long way.
- Make sure to seal the packets tightly before baking. This will help to keep the juices in and prevent the packets from drying out.
- Serve the packets with a dipping sauce of your choice. Some good options include cranberry sauce, gravy, or ranch dressing.
