Hello, Irene,
I have made the apple cherry turnovers on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, thinking I’d have an extra dessert for Shabbat. All I had dough-wise was a pack of 36 mini-squares, so I halved the recipe for the filling. I tasted one and it was out of this world. Then I made a mistake of leaving them out in the dining room. Between my husband and children (bless them all) the turnovers were gone before we got to sit down for dinner. So, again, THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH for delicious recipes and please keep them coming, along with the stories.

What are we making for Chanukah?

Chag Sameach.

I love the smell of chicken roasted with lots of garlic and paprika, so I’m sure that turkey would be fantastic that way, too. My mother also marinates her turkey overnight. Speaking of which, my mother already made your pumpkin loaves. Happy Thanksgiving!!

That is sooo nice. Thank you so much!! I am very touched, really. I get a few comments here and there but this is the kind of comment that really helps motivate me.

I bought two packages of puff pastry. There were 10 in each package of 5 by 5 squares. If you can’t get those ready, you can use pepperidge farm and cut them into that size or 6 x 6 would be better.

The filling is really from Ina Garten. I peeled and diced 5 large granny smith apples, small pieces. In a bowl tossed them with 3 Tbs orange juice, about 1 cup sugar, and about 1/2 cup dried cherries. Added 2 tbs flour. Then I mixed an egg with 1 Tbs water and brushed the edges of the puff pastry with the wash. Put about 1/3 cup of the mixture on one side of sqaure and folded ove the other in a triangle. Pressed down with a fork to get a good seal and then made two slits at the top. Brused with egg wash and sprinkled with sugar. Baked at 400 for about 20 minutes.

Hope that helps.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Irene

Hello, Irene,

last year I made garlic turkey according to your recipe and it was such a huge success that everybody is still talking about it. It is by far superior to any other recipe out there and if anybody does not agree, they haven’t had it done the right way.
This year, I would like to bother you (sorry, but that’s what happens when you have great blog with delicious recipes) for the turnovers you’ve mentioned in this blog … “This afternoon it smelled of apples and dried cherries baking inside puff pastry squares that I folded into individual turnovers…”

Thanking you in advance and wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving ad Chanukah.
