We’d been on a turkey cooking adventure during the festive season. As you know, turkeys come in very large sizes. With a small family to feed, we were left with plenty of leftovers.
I always make spicy puffs using roast chicken leftovers, so I was sure roast turkey would be a great substitute. In fact, I was right. They were a big hit; the whole batch disappeared right in front of my eyes!

Ingredients
- 2 large (2 cups) potatoes, cut into small cubes
- 3 medium (1 cup) carrots, cut into small cubes
- 1 large (1 cup) onion, finely chopped
- 3 cups shredded turkey
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 1 tbsp garlic paste

- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 5 puff pastry sheets
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp oil
- Salt to taste
- Water
- Tomato sauce/ sweet chilli sauce, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190 degree Celsius.
- Place the cut carrots and potatoes in a heatproof bowl with enough salt and water. Cook until done. Drain. Reserve the water; you can use it later in the cooking process. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Fry onion until soft. Add ginger paste and garlic paste. Fry again.
- Add in the spices – ground turmeric, ground coriander, garam masala, and chilli powder. Fry again for few seconds.
- Add shredded turkey. Mix well. Stir in the cooked veggies. If the mixture is too dry, add a little amount of reserved water. Mix well. Cook for 1 -2 minutes. Remove from flame. Set aside.
- Thaw 5 puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 6 rectangles.
- Place 1 tbsp of turkey mixture in each rectangle. Fold in half, and seal the edges using water. Press down the edges with your finger tips to seal properly.
- Line two baking trays with baking paper. Place the prepared pastries on them. Leave a little space between them, so the pastry sheets can puff well.
- Brush with beaten egg. Place the trays in the oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes.
