Turkey, ham and Gruyère pasties
Makes 6
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Melt 25g butter in a pan over a medium heat. Cook 1 chopped onion and 1 tbsp chopped sage for 5-6 minutes until the onion is soft. Season and allow to cool. In a bowl, mix the onion with 250g cooked turkey, 125g cooked chopped ham, 125g grated Gruyère, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 2 tbsp double cream, 2 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tsp wholegrain mustard. Season with a little salt and black pepper. Roll out 1 sheet of puff pastry on a floured work surface and divide into six equal pieces. Divide the filling equally between the pastry squares, leaving a margin at the edges. Brush the edges with beaten egg and carefully fold corner to corner to make triangles, pinching the edges together to seal. Place the pasties on the tray, brush with beaten egg and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/gas mark 3 and cook for a further 15-20 minutes until golden.
