Ingredients
Scale
1 package puff pastry sheets (thawed)
2 cups cooked turkey (shredded or chopped)
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (thawed)
1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup turkey or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or spray a 12-cup muffin pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, thawed mixed vegetables, cream cheese, turkey or chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, dried sage, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy and evenly mixed.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut the pastry into 12 squares, about 4×4 inches. Keep them cool to prevent sticking.
- Press each puff pastry square into a muffin cup, letting the edges hang slightly over the rim.
- Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the turkey filling into each pastry-lined muffin cup. Fold the pastry edges over the filling and pinch or crimp with a fork to seal.
- Lightly brush the tops of each pie with the beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy. The filling should be hot and bubbly inside.
- Let the pies cool in the muffin pan for 5-10 minutes. Use a butter knife to gently lift them out. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Substitute leftover chicken for turkey if desired.
- Add a pinch of thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- These mini pies can be frozen after baking and reheated in the oven.
- Serve with a side salad or cranberry sauce for a festive meal.
