Nutella Filled Turkey Puff Pastries
These Nutella filled turkey puff pastries are an easy kid and crowd pleaser that anyone can make for Thanksgiving. Zero baking skills required!
Ingredients
- 1 pckg frozen puff pastry, thawed (2 sheets)
- 250 g Nutella
- 15 mini chocolate chips
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉ and line a baking pan. In a small bowl, combine the egg and milk, whisk together well. Set aside.
- Sprinkle a little flour over your counter and on your rolling pin. Roll the first sheet of pastry into a 12in x 12in square. (*See notes) With a turkey cookie cutter, cut as many shapes as you can. You can take the scraps and reroll a couple of times to get a couple more shapes. Just ensure you don't overwork the pastry or it will get tough.
- Lay the cut on turkeys on the pan and dollop about 1 tbsp of Nutella into the belly area. Spread it around leaving a 1 inch or 2cm border to prevent leakage. Do this to each turkey. Remember, you need 2 turkeys per pastry so try to get an even number.
- Once you've filled them all, using a pastry brush or paint brush, paint a little egg wash around the border you've left. Then take another turkey cutout and lay it on top, ensuring you line them up. Using your fingers, pinch the edges together all around. Make sure they're aren't any gaps or the filling can leak.
- Do this to each one and then paint a little more egg wash over the top of each pastry. Place the mini chocolate chip upside down where the eye would be if you're using them. Bake in the oven for about 12-14 minutes or until golden in colour. Continue this until you've used up all your pastry, including the second sheet of pastry. You may end up with a few scraps leftover at the end. (**See notes)
- Eat warm or let fully cool and store in an airtight container for up to 2 days and enjoy!
Notes
*If it's warm in your kitchen, keep the second sheet of pastry in the fridge. If the pastry gets too warm, the butter can leak and you'll lose the flaky layers. Take it out again once you're ready to use it.
**If you don't want to waste any pastry, roll out the scraps like before into a square or rectangle. Cut it in half with a pizza cutter, knife, etc. Fill with Nutella the same way you would the turkeys, with a border, and then egg wash the perimeter. Layer the other half on top and egg wash it. Then bake it.
