Spinach And Olive Turnovers Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium; add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; mix in spinach, feta, lemon juice, and cayenne. Season filling with salt and pepper, and set aside. (Feta can be quite salty, so be sure to taste the filling before adding more seasoning.)
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each portion of dough (still folded in thirds) into a 12-inch square; cut each into quarters to form a total of 8 equal squares.
• Dividing evenly, spoon filling onto center of each of the 8 squares. Lightly brush two adjoining edges of each square with some egg wash. Fold these edges over filling to form a triangle; press firmly to seal (dough should be tightly pressed around filling). With a floured fork, crimp edges.
• Transfer turnovers to two baking sheets; brush tops with remaining egg wash. Bake until golden and puffed, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add green onions, garlic, rosemary and thyme; cook and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in turkey, spinach, cheese, gravy, salt and pepper., Unfold puff pastry; cut each sheet into four squares. Transfer to greased baking sheets. Spoon turkey mixture onto center of each square. In a small bowl, whisk egg and water; brush over edges of pastry. Fold one corner of dough diagonally over filling, forming triangles; press edges with a fork to seal. Brush tops with egg mixture. Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown., Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine cranberry sauce and orange juice. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in orange zest. Serve with turnovers.

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture (dough will be stiff). Turn onto a floured surface; gently knead 10 times. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. , In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon; reserve 1 tablespoon drippings. Saute onion and garlic in drippings until tender. Remove from heat; stir in bacon, spinach, cottage cheese and seasonings. Cool. , On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into 3-in. circles; brush edges with egg. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling on each circle. Fold over; seal edges. Prick tops with a fork. Brush with egg. , Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with salsa if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease heavy large baking sheet. Whisk eggs in large bowl to blend. Transfer 1 tablespoon beaten eggs to small bowl and reserve for glaze. Mix spinach, cheese, mint, garlic and pepper into remaining eggs in large bowl.
• Unfold dough on prepared baking sheet. Gently stretch dough to 11-inch square. Cut dough into 4 equal squares. Spoon 1/4 of spinach filling (about 1/3 cup) into center of each dough square. Fold 1 corner of each square over filling to opposite corner, forming triangle. Press dough edges together tightly with fork to seal. Using sharp knife, cut 3 small slits in top of each turnover to allow steam to escape. Brush tops of turnovers with reserved egg glaze.
• Bake turnovers until filling is cooked through and tops are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• FOR THE TURNOVER DOUGH:.
• Sift the flour into a large bowl and stir in the cubed butter until just combined.
• Make a well in the center of the flour, add almost all of the water and mix with a wooden spoon to a slightly sticky dough with a knife, adding more water if necessary. Gather up the dough.
• Turn the dough onto a well floured surface and lightly press together until almost smooth taking care not to over work the dough.
• Roll out to a neat 8 x 16 inch rectangle, trying to keep the shape fairly square.
• Fold the third top toward you, then the bottom 1/3 away from you to form a squarish shape. Give the dough a 1/4 turn making sure the finished seam is on the right.
• Then, re-roll the pastry to an 8 x 16 inch rectangle taking the same care as you did with the first roll. Fold the top down and the bottom up once again and wrap in cling wrap and put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Once the 30 minutes is up repeat the above step twice more. Refrigerate it again for another 30 minutes.
• This folding and rolling gives the dough a flaky consistency.
• Roll the dough to 1/8 inch thick and cut out your circles. You should get 30-3 inch circles.
• Preheat your oven to 350'F.
• Brush a large baking sheet with butter or oil.
• FOR THE FILLING:.
• Wash and dry your spinach leaves thoroughly. Then shred it finely and place in a medium bowl.
• Crumble the Feta Cheese over the spinach and add the pitted olives, rosemary and garlic.
• Spread the pistachio nuts on a baking tray and toast under a moderately hot grill for 1-2 minutes. Cool and chop finely.
• Add to the spinach mixture with the beaten egg and stir until well combined.
• Place two teaspoons of this mixture on each of the cut out dough circles and then pinch the edges to seal.
• Place on the prepared baking tray; brush each turnover with the beaten egg and bake for 15 minutes until golden and crisp. Serve hot.
• Bon Appetit!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 10 minutes or until tender and lightly browned. Add garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add kale and spinach; sauté 8 minutes or until kale is tender. Stir in pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Stir in feta.
• Separate dough into 8 pieces. Roll each dough piece into a 5-inch circle. Spoon about 1/3 cup kale mixture on half of each circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold dough over kale mixture until edges almost meet. Bring bottom edge of dough over top edge; crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim.
• Place turnovers on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat turnovers with cooking spray; sprinkle each turnover with about 1 teaspoon Parmesan. Bake at 375° for 18 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand at least 5 minutes before serving; serve warm or at room temperature.
