Ingredients
- 10 sheets phyllo dough
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups cooked turkey
- 1.5 cups stuffing
- 1.5 cups mashed potatoes
- 0.5 cup cranberry sauce
- 0.5 cup gravy
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish, setting it aside for brushing the phyllo dough.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
Step 4
Lay a single sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Lay a second sheet on top and brush it with butter as well. Repeat until you have a stack of 2-3 layers (depending on your preference).
Step 5
Spoon 1/3 cup of the turkey mixture into the center of the phyllo sheet stack. Top with a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of cranberry sauce and a drizzle of gravy.
Step 6
Fold the corners of the phyllo sheet inward to create a neat packet, sealing the edges by brushing a little more butter at the seams. Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling mixture.
Step 7
Place the filled packets onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter to ensure a golden, crispy finish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden and crisp.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the packets cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with additional cranberry sauce or gravy on the side if desired.
