Turkey Cigars with Cranberry-Dijon Dipping Sauce Recipe
  • Prep: 35 min. Bake: 10 min.
  • Yield: 24 Servings
35 10 45

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound ground turkey
  • 4 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons jellied cranberry sauce
  • 2 teaspoons ground walnuts, divided
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 12 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • DIPPING SAUCE:
  • 1/2 cup jellied cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Directions

  • In a small skillet, cook turkey over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese, parsley, cranberry sauce, 1 teaspoon walnuts, honey, mustard, salt and pepper.
  • Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface with a long side facing you; brush with butter. Repeat with three more sheets of phyllo, brushing each layer. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)
  • Cut the stack widthwise into four strips. Place 2 tablespoons turkey mixture along one long side of each strip; roll up tightly. Pinch edges to seal. Cut roll in half; place seam side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat. Brush tops with butter; sprinkle with remaining walnuts.
  • Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. For dipping sauce, in a microwave, heat cranberry sauce until softened. Stir in mustard. Serve with appetizers. Yield: 2 dozen (1 cup sauce).

I have made this recipe 3 times, just as it is written. I made it for a party the last time and people were asking to take home the leftovers.
