Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped cooked turkey (about 5 ounces)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh broccoli
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup Miracle Whip
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. For filling, mix first six ingredients.
Unfold pastry onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 15x10-in. rectangle. Transfer to a baking sheet. Spoon filling down center third of rectangle. On each long side, cut eight strips about 3 in. into the center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips over filling, pinching ends to join.
Bake until golden brown and filling is heated through, 20-25 minutes.

Test Kitchen tips

After rolling out the puff pastry, loosely roll the dough up around the rolling pin to easily lift and transfer it to a baking sheet.

Switch up the flavor by using ham and Swiss for the turkey and cheddar.

For a more finished look, brush the pastry with an egg wash before baking (whisk one egg with one tablespoon water).
