We decided to try something different with our parade of Thanksgiving leftovers this year and it turned out pretty well! You can definitely vary these based on what you have sitting in the fridge still, but the following worked nicely. Makes 9 puffs with dipping sauce;
*Turkey Dinner Puffs*
* 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
* 1/2 cup mashed potatoes
* 1/2 cup stuffing
* 1/2 cup cooked turkey, shredded or diced
* 3-4 tablespoons turkey gravy, cold
* 1 egg, beaten
* Kosher salt to taste
*Spicy Ginger-Cranberry Dipping Sauce*
* 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
* 1 tablespoon jalapeno, diced
* 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut your puff pastry into 9 squares. Place 1 teaspoon of your gravy in the center (the more congealed the gravy is at this point the easier it will be, so keep it cold until you’re ready to go). Then place approximately 2-3 teaspoons each of turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes and gently stretch the pastry closed around it all, forming a sealed ball a bit larger than a golf ball. Place each puff on a parchment paper lined sheet tray as you assemble them.
Brush each pastry with the beaten egg, sprinkle with Kosher salt, and then bake at 425 for approximately 20 minutes turning once halfway through, until they’re nicely golden brown.
While they bake, make your dipping sauce. In a small saute pan over a medium-low flame, heat the sesame oil and lightly cook the diced jalapeno. After a minute or two add the cranberry and ginger and stir thoroughly. Remove from the heat and transfer to dipping cups.
Once the puffs are baked serve piping hot and enjoy!
