Good Eats - Turkey Potato Empanadas

Turkey...Potato...Cheese...
& Puff Pastry!

I can still smell the buttery aroma seeping from the oven.  Yummy!

Yes. this is the last of the Thanksgiving frozen leftovers.  So needed yet so sad.

I sometimes call this Thanksgivings in a bite.
It has the entire Thanksgiving dinner all rolled up in dough...puff pastry dough no less!

Enjoy...

1 Package of Puff Pastry (2 sheets) or 2 refrigerated tubed biscuits
1 1/2 cups leftover turkey, diced or shredded

Cut Puff Pastry into small squares
(cut biscuits into halves, then flattened on a parchment sheet over a cookie sheet)
Put a heaping teaspoonful of the mixture onto the dough, then fold into triangles, use a fork to seal the edges.
