Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
If using pastry sheets, cut into 6 squares each (6" X 6").
Brush top of each pastry square with water and fold into neat triangle. Place on parchment-lined baking tray and bake in preheated oven, 15-20 minutes or until golden.
In large skillet, saute 2 cups scallions, mushrooms, peppers and carrots for 2 minutes, then add garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
Stir in white wine and reduce until sauce coats back of spoon.
Add barley and mix.
Add 2 quarts hot tea slowly, stirring constantly. Cover and simmer until barley absorbs liquid, approximately 20-25 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat. Stir in cheese, then stir in greens and turkey. (Hold in steam table or heat to order.)
Combine all salsa ingredients in food processor or blender and puree. Heat to order.
Remove center of pastry shell. Ladle 2-3 ounces of salsa on plate. Fill pastry shell with 3 ounces of turkey/vegetable filling. Place two filled turnovers in center of salsa on plate.
Garnish salsa with additional chopped peaches, apricots, or mango.
