With all the good food I made and witnessed this week it surprised me that my favorite meal was the simplest to make.  Real Simple Magazine had a recipe for beef turnovers.  I changed it up with turkey sausage instead of ground beef and here is the result:

Turkey & Sweet Potato Turnovers

Brown ½ pound turkey sausage with 2 cloves chopped garlic. Add 1 grated sweet potato and 3 cups baby spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cut 2 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed) in half. Divide the beef and 1½ cups grated Cheddar among the 4 pieces of dough; seal the edges. Bake at 375° F until golden for 25 minutes.

Trading turkey for beef was a fluke.  My ground beef went bad in the fridge so I changed it up to be the turkey sausage that was still viable.  When I stirred the spinach and sweet potato in with the sausage the spinach wilted a bit which made it easy to form into the pastry shells.  I didn’t think I had enough spinach so I added an extra cup after it wilted.

So easy and so tasty you can tell people it took hours and they’ll believe you!  Since it makes enough for four, Joe & I had leftovers for the following day.  I had mine for lunch because I didn’t want to wait until dinner.  My recommendation on reheating these flaky bits of heaven: don’t nuke them.  They’ll get soggy and that’s such a waste.  Just reheat your turnover in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 375.  Enjoy!
