A great way to use up that excess Christmas turkey
Ingredients
500 g puff pastry
1 tsp lemon juice
4 tbsp cold stuffing
250 g cooked turkey, roughly shredded
8 tbsp cranberry sauce
1 egg, beaten
100 g shelled walnuts
Parsley, stalks removed
25 g Parmesan, grated
2-3 tbsp olive oil
Method
Preheat oven to 220C, 425F, Gas 7.
Roll out the pastry on a floured surface, until 5mm thick. Cut into quarters.
Place 1 tbsp stuffing onto each pastry square and top with a quarter of the turkey and 2 tbsp cranberry sauce.
Dampen pastry edges with water, then bring all four points up to meet in the middle. Pinch the edges together, crimp to seal and place on a baking sheet. Brush with egg and cook in the oven for 30 minutes until golden.
Meanwhile, whizz the walnuts, parsley and Parmesan in a food processor until mixed, adding the oil gradually. Add lemon juice to taste.
Serve the pasties warm, drizzled with the walnut sauce.
