Day 73: Ham & Corn Turnovers

Easy and fun!  Use what you have in the fridge/freezer to throw together a flavorful and easy meal.  I get the potatoes started as soon as I get home, once the potatoes are cooked and mashed, the rest is super easy and quick!

Ham & Corn Turnovers
1/2 lb potatoes, mashed with added butter and milk/cream
1/3 - 1/2 lb cooked ham, cubed, or from the deli - whatever you have on hand!
1/2 cup of frozen corn (or peas!)
3-4 scallions, chopped
salt, pepper, to taste
2 puff pastry sheets, thawed
egg, for egg wash

Once the potatoes are mashed with some butter and milk, add the cubed ham, corn, and chopped scallions.  Season with salt and pepper.  Mix well.

 Cut the pastry sheets into square (I do 4 per sheet--for manageability.)  Spread the egg wash around 2 edges of the cut squares.  Pile a scoop of the potato mixture onto the pastry square and fold over the pastry into the shape of a triangle and press down.  Repeat with all of the squares.  Spread the egg wash onto all squares, and prick slits into the turnovers with a knife.  Bake at 425* for 20 minutes.  Let cool 5 minutes.  Serve with mango chutney for a fun flavor!
