Calories: 1151kcal
Ingredients
- 225 ml milk
plus a little to glaze
- 1.5 tbsp cornflour
- 640 g ready rolled puff pastry sheets ie 2 packs
- 120 g cooked turkey
- 100 g cooked bacon or lardons
- 50 g cooked stuffing I used one cooked stuffing ball, cooled and chopped up
- 2 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 2 tsp sage
- 1 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp parmesan or other hard cheese, finely grated
Instructions
- Remove the pastry from the fridge 15 minutes before you start so that it doesn’t crack when you unroll it.
- Mix the cornflour with a little of the milk.
- Add to a pan with the rest of the milk and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Whisk over a low heat until thickened, then set aside to cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 200C (400F/180C fan).
- Unroll one sheet of pastry and cut into quarters so that you have four rectangles to work with.
- Top each rectangle with an equal share of turkey, bacon and stuffing, leaving a couple of centimetres (a little under 1 inch) clear around the edges.
- Dot with the cranberry sauce then spoon the white sauce on top.
- Unroll your second sheet of pastry, cut into quarters and layer on top of your fillings.
- Press all around the edges of each pastry to create four pockets.
- Press all around the edges with a fork to seal well, trim the edges with a sharp knife and transfer to a large tray lined with baking paper.
- Brush the tops all over with milk, then mix the sage, breadcrumbs and parmesan together and sprinkle all over.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and well puffed.
