Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ounce butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 leek, trimmed and sliced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
10 ounces turkey, cooked shredded
7 ounces leftover vegetables or 7 ounces prepared stuffing
13 ounces puff pastry, chilled
3 1/2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
4 tablespoons cranberry sauce
1 medium egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F
  • Cook the leek in the oil and butter until softened.
  • Add the thyme, turkey and leftovers and season.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes. Take off the heat.
  • Roll out the pastry.
  • Place on a baking sheet and pile the turkey mixture over one half leaving a 1in rim on the three cut edges.
  • Scatter over the cheese and spoon the cranberry sauce on top.
  • Brush the three cut edges with egg and fold the pastry over.
  • Press to seal. Prick all over with a fork.
  • Brush the top with beaten egg.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey: For the best results, choose a fresh or thawed turkey that is no larger than 12 pounds. A larger turkey will be more difficult to slice and may not cook evenly.
  • Slice the turkey properly: To ensure even cooking, slice the turkey against the grain. This will help to prevent the meat from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the turkey slices, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly and may result in soggy turkey.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the turkey is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey rest: Before serving, let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.

Conclusion:

There are many delicious ways to use leftover turkey. From sandwiches and salads to soups and stews, there is something for everyone. With a little creativity, you can turn your leftover turkey into a meal that the whole family will enjoy.
