Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 1 cup cooked turkey breast
• 1 cup cranberry sauce
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

If using frozen puff pastry, allow it to thaw according to package instructions. Once thawed, lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pastry sheets to smooth out any creases.

Step 3

Dice the cooked turkey breast into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, salt, pepper, and finely chopped fresh rosemary. Mix until smooth and evenly blended.

Step 5

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 16 even squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter (4 rows by 4 rows per sheet).

Step 6

Place about 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square. Top with a small amount of diced turkey and a dollop (approximately 1/2 teaspoon) of cranberry sauce.

Step 7

Fold each square into a triangle by bringing opposite corners together, then pinch the edges tightly to seal. If necessary, use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security and a decorative touch.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the folded pastry triangles with the egg wash to ensure a golden, glossy finish.

Step 9

Transfer the filled pastries to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each bite.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the bites cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh rosemary for a festive touch.
