• 2 T olive oil
• 1 Large onion, chopped
• 4 (5 oz. packages) mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced• 1/2 C Light sour creamPreparation:
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1 sheet of Puff Pastry (17.3 oz box), thawed
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out folded dough to 20 by 10 rectangles, use pizza cutter or sharp knife, trim edges straight; cut dough into 10-by 5-inch rectangles. Dividing evenly, mound
mushroom mixture on one half of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border on three sides. Lightly brush with water; fold other half of pastry over filling, and press edges firmly to seal. With
a floured fork, crimp edges.
Using a wide metal spatula, transfer turnover to a large baking sheet. With a paring knife, cut 3 to 4 small slits in the top of each turnover. Bake until golden and puffed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Let cool for 5 minutes, garnish with sour cream. Recipe serves 4.
