Turkey Turnovers

Submitted by LuuvBunny

"This recipe is outstanding and so easy to make with any leftover turkey you have. This recipe is from an old calendar my mom has from the 1960's. She tried it for the first time about 8 years ago and I have been making them after every turkey meal ever since. They are great as small appetizers or make them larger and have for lunch. I am not great at making pastry of any kind but this one always turns perfect. The prep time for this recipe also includes the 1/2 hour it takes for the dough to chill."
