Spinach Turnovers image

The flaky cream cheese pastry adds sensational texture to these hot appetizers-and just wait until you taste the wonderful filling. I usually fix a double batch and freeze some to have on hand in case unexpected guests drop by. - Jean von Bereghy, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin

These turnovers were a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll use less sugar next time.

These turnovers were way too oily. I think I should have drained the spinach better before adding it to the filling.

These turnovers were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices to the filling next time.

The crust on these turnovers was a bit too thick for my taste. I'll try rolling it out thinner next time.

These turnovers were a bit dry. I think I should have used more butter in the filling.
