Ingredients
  

  • 0.454 pound ground turkey
  • 1.0 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1.0 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3.0 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.0 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.0 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1.0 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.0 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1.0 package puff pastry
  • 1.0 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 0.0 to taste fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Stir in dried oregano, black pepper, and salt.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crumbled feta cheese and thawed spinach. Mix well until combined, then remove the skillet from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Take one sheet of puff pastry and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 4 equal squares. Place a generous spoonful of the turkey and feta mixture in the center of each square, being careful not to overfill.
  • Fold each pastry square into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite. Press the edges tightly to seal, then use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra decorative touch.
  • Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and flaky.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm, and enjoy your Crisp Garlicky Turkey Feta Turnovers!

Notes
