I make this dish often after the holidays when there's leftover turkey in the refrigerator or freezer. It's a hearty meal for the two of us and simple to prepare. -Julie Wagner, Northville, Michigan

Turkey Turnovers Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 2 Servings

15 30 45

Ingredients

1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup cubed cooked turkey
1/2 cup cooked peas or vegetable of your choice
4 teaspoons sliced almonds
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1-1/2 teaspoons diced pimientos
Dash each salt, pepper and garlic powder
1 cup biscuit/baking mix
1/4 cup cold water
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 to 3/4 cup condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted or chicken gravy

Directions

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and milk until smooth. Stir in the turkey, peas, almonds, onion, parsley, pimientos, salt, pepper and garlic powder; set aside.
In another bowl, combine biscuit mix and water until a soft dough forms. On a floured surface, knead gently 5-6 times or until dough is no longer sticky. Gently roll into an 11-in. x 7-in. rectangle; cut in half. Spoon half of the turkey mixture onto each. Carefully fold pastry over filling; seal edges tightly with a fork. Brush tops with butter.
Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, heat soup and serve with turnovers. Yield: 2 servings.
