Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil for sautéing the onions
  • 1 medium sweet onion finely chopped
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix a mix of shredded cabbage and carrot
  • 1 pound cooked corned beef chopped finely
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1 large egg for egg wash
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped sweet onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the coleslaw mix and cook until softened, about another 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and add the chopped corned beef, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything well until combined.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut each sheet into squares, roughly 4x4 inches.
  • Place a generous spoonful of the filling onto the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle, sealing the edges by pressing with a fork.
  • Beat the large egg in a small bowl and brush the egg wash over the tops of the turnovers for a beautiful golden color.
  • Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider mixing in some herbs like thyme or dill into the filling.
