Ingredients

2-1/2 lbs (about 50 sheets) frozen phyllo dough sheets, thawed

1 c unsalted butter, melted

5 oz unsalted butter

2/3 c flour

2-1/2 qt half and half

4 tsp dried tarragon

Salt To Taste

White pepper To Taste

1-3/4 lb wild mushrooms (shiitake, oyster and morels), sliced

3 oz unsalted butter

4 lbs PULLED WHITE TURKEY, diced into 3/4-inch pieces

20 Each tarragon sprigs

Directions


 



Cut dough sheets in half to approximately 12 x 8 inches. To prevent the phyllo from drying out, keep covered with clean, damp paper towels until use. Lightly brush each half phyllo sheet with the 1 cup melted butter and press into bottom of greased 10-ounce ramekin or baking cup with dough hanging over ramekin edges. Use five, half sheets of dough per ramekin. Bake dough-lined ramekin in 400 degree F oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Keep warm.


Melt 5 ounces of butter over medium heat. Stir in flour. Cook and stir 3 minutes without browning. Add half and half. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Add dried tarragon, salt and pepper. Simmer 10 minutes until thickened.


Saute mushrooms in 3 ounces of butter over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes, until softened.


Add mushrooms and turkey to cream sauce. Cook 5 to 10 minutes longer to heat through.


Ladle 6 ounces of creamed turkey and mushroom filling into each pastry cup. Serve hot and garnish with additional fresh tarragon.
