Mushroom and Eggplant Dinner Pastry

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. Brown ground turkey and onions together in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the meat is browned, drain off any grease. Set aside in a large bowl.

3. In the same pan, heat the olive oil. Saute eggplant, mushrooms, and garlic in olive oil until eggplant and mushrooms are soft. Add the veggies into the turkey mixture.

4. Add cooked quinoa to turkey mixture and combine.

5. In a small bowl, mix together yogurt and cream cheese. Then fold it into the turkey mixture until combined. Add salt and pepper, as needed to taste.

6. Open box of phyllo close to your working space. Lay phyllo sheets on the work surface and cover with plastic wrap and a damp towel. This will keep the phyllo from drying out while you assemble the pastries.

7. On work surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo and spray it with olive oil cooking spray. Lay out another sheet on top of this one, also spraying it with cooking spray. Finally, lay out one more sheet of phyllo, so that ultimately you have 3 sheets laying on top of each other, each sprayed with olive oil cooking spray.

8. Place 1/3 cup of the turkey mixture on the short end of the phyllo, in the center. Fold the top over the mixture, then fold the bottom. (It will look almost like you’re creating an envelope.) Then fold the mixture and the phyllo it’s sitting on, so that it’s now completely covered. Keep folding over until you reach the other small end of the phyllo. Seal the end to the rest of the pastry by brushing it with egg and then pressing it to the rest of the phyllo.

9. Repeat the same process until all the filling is used, placing the assembled pastries on a greased baking sheet as they are completed. Then, brush tops of all of them with egg.

10. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

11. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, red cooking wine and sage. Heat on medium heat, whisking occasionally so all the flavors combine well. When warmed, add salt and pepper, to taste.

12. Once the turkey pastries are done, place on a serving platter and pour sauce over the top, as desired.
