Ingredients for Savory Puff Pastry Turnovers

- ½ pound of bacon
- 1/2 pound of boneless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Brie cheese (I like to use the individually wrapped triangles)
- Shredded swiss or gruyere cheese
How to Make Chicken Turnovers
- Crisp bacon to your preference and drain on a paper towel.
- Slice chicken into strips.
- In a medium saucepan, add olive oil and chicken breast strips—Cook over medium heat for about 4 minutes or until cooked through.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into triangle shapes. You want to get about 8 triangles from 1 sheet.
- Layer chicken and bacon onto 4 of the triangles of puff pastry.
- Add a wedge of brie and a generous pinch of shredded gruyere or swiss cheese.
- Top with the remaining 4 triangles of dough and press the edges together, like you might a pie crust.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
- Refrigerate any leftovers.
How to Store Puff Pastry Turnovers
When making savory puff pastry turnovers, you can make an extra batch and freeze it for days when you don’t feel like cooking but still want to eat something yummy. Place the unbaked savory turnovers on a tray and stick them in the freezer. Let them freeze solid, then transfer them to a zip lock bag or an airtight container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to bake them, preheat the oven to 350 °F and place them into the oven and bake until they are fluffy and golden. It usually takes around 35-40 mins.
