Kaylees Spinach Feta Turnovers Recipes

SPINACH-FETA TURNOVERS

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium; add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; mix in spinach, feta, lemon juice, and cayenne. Season filling with salt and pepper, and set aside. (Feta can be quite salty, so be sure to taste the filling before adding more seasoning.)
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each portion of dough (still folded in thirds) into a 12-inch square; cut each into quarters to form a total of 8 equal squares.
• Dividing evenly, spoon filling onto center of each of the 8 squares. Lightly brush two adjoining edges of each square with some egg wash. Fold these edges over filling to form a triangle; press firmly to seal (dough should be tightly pressed around filling). With a floured fork, crimp edges.
• Transfer turnovers to two baking sheets; brush tops with remaining egg wash. Bake until golden and puffed, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.

Steps:

• Place the two packages thawed spinach in a microwave-safe bowl with about 1/2 cup water in the bottom of the bowl, and microwave on HIGH for 8 minutes; cool to almost room temperature, then squeeze all of the moisture out of the spinch with your hands (to speed the cooling process up just run the spinach under cold water).
• Set oven to 400 degrees.
• Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until blended, then add in squeezed spinach, feta cheese, garlic and black pepper; mix well to combine.
• Unfold the prepared pizza dough onto prepared baking sheet and gently stretch to a 11-inch square.
• Cut into 4 equal squares, repeat with the remaining tube of pizza dough.
• Spoon about 1/3 cup of the filling into the center of each square.
• Fold one corner of each square over the filling to the opposite corner (forming a triangle).
• Press dough edges together tightly with a fork to seal.
• With a shap knife cut 2 or 3 small slits in the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
• Beat the small egg in a cup then brush over the tops of the turnover.
• Bake until the filling is cooked through and the tops of the turnovers are golden brown (about 15 minutes).
