Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed but cold
  • 1/2 cup cooked smoked turkey or turkey ham, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese or ricotta (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • optional: 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or a pinch of dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic 30 seconds, then add chopped spinach with a pinch of salt and pepper; cook until wilted. Transfer to a plate to cool and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine diced turkey, shredded cheese, cooled spinach, and cream cheese or ricotta if using. Season with salt, pepper, and optional Dijon or oregano. Stir until evenly mixed.
  • On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry and roll just enough to smooth the seams. Cut into 6 equal squares.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto one half of each square. Fold into triangles (or rectangles), press edges to seal, and crimp with a fork. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Beat the egg with milk. Brush the tops of the puffs with the egg wash.
  • Bake 15–18 minutes, until well puffed and deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
  • For freezing: Assemble (without egg wash) and freeze on a sheet until solid, then store in a bag. Bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) until golden, adding a few minutes as needed.
