Turkey Rolls

A very simple recipe for party appetizers


1 tbsp of butter
1 onion, finely chopped (you can also use shallots if you like)
1 pound turkey
1-3 mixed herbs (I used oregon, tarragon, sage, thyme and marjoram and pepper corns and blend in a food processor)
1 ounce of ground pistachio (easiest to peel them and toss them in a food processor)
12 ounces or One package of puff pastry (wait for this to completely thaw)
4-6 tbsp of Parmesean
salt and pepper
1 egg for glazing

Melt butter and slowly cook onions in frying pan until onions are softened and set aside. It should take around five mintues for this. Transfer to a bowl and mix in turkey meat, nuts and herbs. Season with salt and pepper with spoon until completely mixed.

Break up mixture into four equally sized rolls or strips -- maybe ten to twelve inches in length.

On a lightly floured surface, unroll the puff pastry and cut into four sections for the meat that you just rolled out. Place the meat in the center of the puff pastry sections and then sprinkle Parmesan over the top.

Roll one side of the pastry over the meat and then lightly rub the egg wash on one side of the pastry and then roll the other side over to seal the meat mixture in. Place the closed roll seam side down to seal completely. Glaze the top of the puff pastry strips with egg.

Preheat your oven to 425. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Cut the puff pastry strips into inch sections and place on sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until puff pastry is crisp and brown. They will raise up a bit, don't worry.

Serve warm or let cool -- both are damn tasty.
