Ingredients
  

  • 4 Puff Pastry Shells ready to fill
  • 300 g Turkey Breast diced
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Shallot finely chopped
  • 200 ml Chicken Stock hot
  • 200 ml Heavy Cream or light cream
  • 50 g Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch optional, for thickening

  • a pinch Nutmeg
  • to garnish Fresh Parsley

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Whisk
  • Baking Sheet
  • Sharp Knife
  • Silicone Brush optional

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the diced turkey until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté the shallot until soft, then add hot chicken stock and let it simmer for 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cream, Parmesan, and a pinch of nutmeg. If the sauce is too thin, mix cornstarch with cold water and stir it in to thicken.
  4. Fold the cooked turkey into the sauce, coat evenly, then preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  5. Fill each puff pastry shell with the turkey mixture and place them on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes to warm through and crisp up the pastry, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality Parmesan for the best flavor; it makes a huge difference.
Don’t skip the nutmeg; it adds subtle warmth to the dish.
Prepare ingredients ahead of time for a smoother cooking process.
For leftover storage, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheating in the oven to maintain crispiness. For longer storage, freeze the unbaked filled pastries and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
