Leftover Turkey Filo Pie



Serves 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, julienned
8 sheets filo dough
2 tablespoons butter, melted
4 cups leftover turkey meat, cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook the onions in the olive oil until golden. Remove from the heat and add the turkey meat and the seasoning. Mix Well

To prevent the filo sheet from drying; follow the instructions on the filo box

Place the first filo sheet on a cookie sheet, and lightly brush with the melted butter. Place the second sheet on top the first and brush with the butter. Continue until you finished the eight sheets.

Place the meat onion stuffing in the center of the buttered filo dough, and then spread into a four-inch diameter circle.
Fold the side the filo dough to cover the circle.
Brush with a touch of the melted butter, sprinkle with the sesame, and then bake in a 350 F degree oven for fifteen minutes, or until the filo dough is golden.

Mocha Java “Cigars” - Great to serve with chocolate sauce or ice cream

Even great with Port Wine for dessert! One per person is not enough in my book, so you may want to double or triple this recipe.



* 1/4 cup granulated sugar

* 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

* 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder

* 6 sheets defrosted filo dough

* 2 tablespoons melted butter

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine sugar, cocoa powder and espresso powder in a bowl. Place one sheet of filo on a flat work surface and brush with some of the melted butter. Sprinkle with some of the sugar mixture and roll up around a small wooden dowel, or other long, thin round object. Place on a parchment paper or silicone mat-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until crisp.

Makes 6 servings.
