Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients
1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry
4 cans (18.8 ounces each) chunky chicken corn chowder soup
4 cups cubed cooked turkey
2 packages (16 ounces each) frozen peas and carrots, thawed
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions
Thaw one sheet of puff pastry. Cut into six squares. Cut each square in half diagonally; transfer to two greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, combine the soup, turkey, peas and carrots, cream cheese and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until cream cheese is melted.

Serve half of the soup mixture with puff pastry triangles. Cool the remaining soup mixture; transfer to freezer containers. May be frozen for up to 3 months.

To use frozen soup mixture: Thaw soup mixture in the refrigerator overnight. Thaw remaining puff pastry. Cut into six squares. Cut each square in half diagonally; transfer to two greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, place soup mixture in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes. Serve with puff pastry triangles.

My notes: I just bought the turkey from the deli counter at Wal Mart and had them slice it thickly, so I could cube it myself. I also didn't like the puff pastry at all, so I made the Brethren Bread instead. :)

Brethren Cheese Bread
adapted from Reading, 'Riting and Recipes, taken from Perry's Plate

2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 T sugar
½ tsp. salt
¼ c. butter or margarine
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
2-3 T minced fresh dill, or about 2 tsp. dried (I don't love dill, so I used a mixture of spices that I DO like-including garlic, oregano, and sundried tomatoes)
1 tablespoon minced onion or 2 tsp dried
1 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a standard-sized loaf pan.

Combine dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and cut in butter with a fork or a pastry blender (much easier) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese, onion and dill; mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine milk and beaten egg; pour into flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Turn into prepared pan. Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan 10 minutes and turn out onto wire rack to cool.
