Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat. 2. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove to paper towels to drain, then crumble. Remove all of the bacon fat from the skillet except for 1 tablespoon. 3. Add the mushrooms and onions to the skillet and saute over medium heat until softened. Stir in cream, Dijon and salt/pepper. Cook until reduced slightly and thickened. Set aside to cool a bit. 4. Assemble the pastries. Cut each sheet of Puff Pastry into 4 equal squares. Divide the mushroom mixture between 4 squares. Top with turkey, bacon and Swiss cheese. Roll out each of the remaining Puff Pastry squares so they're a little bit larger (or just use your fingers to press and stretch them). Place the second piece over the top of each with filling. Use a fork to seal the edges to form "pockets." Brush each square with egg wash and use a knife to poke a few slits in the top for steam to escape while baking. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

TURKEY, BACON & CHEESE PUFF PASTRY

You're going to love these puff pastries. They're quick to make, and it's possible you might have all the ingredients you need at hand. If you don't have the exact ingredients... improvise a bit. One of my instructors said that all chefs are really mad scientists in disguise. When I do a catering job, I often make a smaller version of these, and no matter how many I make... I never seem to make enough. Well, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.
