Pepperidge Farms Puff Pastry is one of the key ingredients that is always present in my freezer. Within half an hour I can make the most delectable savory and sweet treats with this buttery puff pastry. The puff pastry can transform even the humble Thanksgiving leftovers into a scrumptious 5-star style dish!
I used Pepperidge Farms Puff Pastry, that I got with a coupon received from the Foodbuzz Tastemaker program, to make these savory Sweet Potato Cranberry Napoleons. I made some of them with turkey and some just vegetarian. The vegetarian napoleons were wonderful by themselves and also make a good side dish for poultry or game.
Ingredients: (yields 6 napoleons)
2 sheet puff pastry
1 large sweet potato, baked, mashed (or use leftover sweet potatoes)
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
Cranberry-orange relish (recipe here or use your leftover cranberry relish)
Goat cheese, crumbled
Leftover Turkey, chopped (optional)
Directions:
Pre-heat the oven to 400°F. Cut each puff pastry sheet into 9 squares. Arrange on baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden.
If using plain baked sweet potato, mash it and mix with maple syrup. Spread a layer of sweet potatoes on top a puff pastry square, followed by a layer of cranberry relish, and sprinkle with turkey (optional) and goat cheese. Top with another puff pastry square and repeat the sweet potato, cranberry, turkey, and goat cheese layers, then top with a third puff pastry square. Repeat with remaining puff pastry.
Lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Warm up the napoleons for about 5 minutes or until the goat cheese just start to melt.
