Time: 1:00
1. In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute
mushrooms, garlic, and onion in sherry and olive oil
until soft. Add parsley, feta, mozzarella, oregano,
thyme, and turkey. Remove from heat.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil two 9-
by 12-inch baking sheets.
3. Lay filo dough on a clean, dry surface. Cut each
sheet in half widthwise to make 30 smaller sheets.
Stack them evenly on top of each other, and cover with
a piece of plastic wrap and a slightly dampened dish
towel as you do the next step.
4. Butter 1 sheet and cut into 3 long strips. Lay the
3 strips on top of each other. Place about 2
tablespoons of filling in the lower right section near
the edge. Fold bottom right corner of filo over
filling to meet left edge, creating a small triangle.
Continue folding pastry, as you would a flag, until
you reach the top. You will end up with a
triangle-shaped pastry.
5. Lightly butter top of filled triangle and place on
prepared baking sheet. Repeat process until all the
filling has been used.
6. Bake pastries until golden (20 minutes). Serve warm.
Makes 30 pastries.
Note - Prepare the pastries ahead and freeze for
entertaining.
