Method
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the deli turkey, cream cheese, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth the creases. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
- Assemble the Pockets:
- Place a generous scoop of the turkey filling in the center of each puff pastry square.
- Fold each square into a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Arrange the pockets on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg to ensure a golden-brown finish.
- Bake the Turkey Pockets:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
- Allow the pockets to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Add Vegetables: Include diced cooked vegetables like spinach, onions, or bell peppers for added flavor and texture.
Make Ahead: Assemble the pockets and freeze them before baking. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
