Curry Puff with Leftover Turkey gives each savory bite that will have you thankful to create memories with the remnants of your holiday bird.
Equipment
- 1 rolling pin
Ingredients
- 2 pastry sheets
- 2 cups diced leftover turkey or rotisserie chicken or chicken breast or thigh
- 2 1/2 cups diced potatoes russet or Yukon Gold
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced carrot frozen or fresh
- 1/2 cup green peas frozen or fresh
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup water
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp ground pepper black or white. I use white ground pepper.
- 1 egg for egg wash/brushing
Instructions
- Thaw the puff pastry in the room temperature (40-50 minutes). Dice potatoes, onion, and carrot then set them aside.
- Make the filling. In a pan, melt butter and sauté the onion until translucent then add potatoes, water, and curry powder. Keep stir frying until the potatoes are cooked. (Poke the potato, if the utensils slides easily to the center, the potato is done.)
- Add peas, carrots, and leftover turkey. Season with soy sauce, sugar, and ground pepper. Once the vegetables are soft, let it cool down before wrapping.
- Flour the surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough if any part is torn or broken. Cut the dough into 4 squares.
- Put the filling on the dough and fold it into triangles (or any shape you'd like). See the pictures. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat an egg and brush the top of the pastry. Chill the pastry in the fridge so that they puff well once they hit the oven.
- Preheat the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, chill the curry pastry in the fridge. Once the oven is heated, bake for 15 - 20 minutes. Let them cool down on a baking rack. Enjoy them warm or cold. They are great for lunch on a go too!

Notes
- The filling is very tasty and there will be some leftover filling after the bake. You can enjoy it by itself or with rice. I always have to prepare the filling more than the amount of dough otherwise my husband will finish all the filling of before I can stuff it in the pastry dough lol!
