This was a joint effort. My mom helped me make these. The pastry was really simple to make and easy to roll out. The filling was just delicious--couldn't help but give it a little taste test. This was somewhat time consuming but the results were well worth it. The turnovers baked to a nice golden brown and tasted divine. Thanks SherryF.

I still have this recipe that I tore out of a magazine in 1982, so you can tell how long I have been making these turnovers. They are a litttle bit time consuming, but so worth the effort. The crust is flaky and filling is creamy - they just melt in your mouth! I only use 8 oz of cream cheese for the pastry as that is what the original recipe called for. Make sure to bake them on an ungreased cookie sheet. They also freeze very well. Just prepare up to the point of baking, place the turnovers on the cookie sheet into the freezer and freeze until firm. Then remove from the freezer and wrap. When ready to use, bake as directed just adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.

These are a bit time consuming but turn out so nice. The pastry is very soft and quite easy to work with. I did feel that the thyme was a bit strong and next time I would reduce it for sure. It is a bit time consuming so don't expect to rush through the prep. But. . . it is all worth it in the end. They do taste good hot out of the oven or room temperature. Thanks for sharing this terrific recipe.
