martha stewart made me wrap an entire TURKEY IN PUFF PASTRY … and i regret it 🤦🏻‍♀️

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: phyllo dough

💰Cheaper: homemade pastry dough

Phyllo dough is lower in calories, while homemade dough can reduce costs.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt cuts calories but maintains creaminess, while ricotta is often less expensive.

Unwrap puff pastry and place a full cooked turkey on the bench.

Roast the turkey simply and cool it in the fridge for a couple of hours before wrapping.

Try to find a piece of puff pastry big enough to cover the turkey; may need to use multiple pieces.

Place the turkey on parchment paper to make wrapping easier.

Use ice water to help seam the puff pastry together.

Gently shape the puff pastry around the turkey, trying to maintain its shape.

Put the wrapped turkey back in the fridge to cool.

Cut out decorative shapes from the puff pastry to place on top of the turkey.

Use a knife to make a leaf pattern on the decorative shapes.

Let the puff pastry chill for about 15-20 minutes before decorating the turkey.

Cover the seam of the wrapped turkey with a thick piece of puff pastry.

Brush the turkey with a mixture of three egg yolks and a little bit of cream.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for baking the wrapped turkey.

Bake the turkey for approximately 35 minutes, checking for a golden brown puff pastry.
