Phyllo dish leftover turkey?!
Answers: thinking phyllo was just pie crust, hubby bought a package. After finding out it didnt work too well as a fruit pie crust, I am left with 1/2 box of dough. we still have leftover turkey to use up, and also sausage meat.HELP what can I do. I have most basic cooking items in the house,but have never used phyllo before.. Any suggestions? sweet savory dont matter
You can fill phyllo with any you want, just remember one thing, brush each layer with butter. I would lay 2 sheets and place my turkey, vegetables and seasonings on top, then I would lay and butter 3 more sheets and then fold it shut. You could roll the edges or butter them and fold it into a smooth package. Bake and serve. I just saw a recipe for a dessert with phyllo and they placed it in a wide soup bowl. Lay the phyllo, etc. When finished, flip this onto a cookie sheet and bake. Bon appetit!
A very simple recipe is to cut up the turkey into small pieces, mix cream of chicken soup, hot sauce to taste, sour cream and the turkey to create a filling.
instead of using it as a bottom crust
think of using it as a top crust.
kind of crinkle each piece and drop it over your casserole.
using one sheet at a time.
it is great over pot pies, drizzle butter over it before you bake it.
