Ingredients

• 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped green onion, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.

Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Roll each sheet slightly with a rolling pin to smooth out the creases.

Step 4

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, for a total of 8 squares.

Step 5

Place about 2 tablespoons of the tuna mixture in the center of each square.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to make an egg wash.

Step 7

Brush the edges of the pastry squares lightly with the egg wash.

Step 8

Fold each square into a triangle, carefully pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative and secure seal.

Step 9

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash to give them a golden, shiny finish.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit or two on the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
