Festive Turkey Flatbreads Recipe

Introduction

These Festive Turkey Flatbreads are a delicious and creative way to use up leftover turkey. With creamy brie, tangy cranberry sauce, and soft, homemade flatbread, they make a perfect holiday snack or light meal.

Ingredients

• 200g self-raising flour
• 170g Greek yogurt
• 4 tbsp cranberry sauce
• 100g brie, chopped into small pieces
• 8 tbsp leftover turkey, chopped into small pieces

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour and Greek yogurt using a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead gently for 1 minute, then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and set aside while you prepare the filling ingredients.
2. Step 2: Once the filling ingredients are ready, knead the dough again for 30 seconds until it feels soft and bouncy. Divide it into 4 equal pieces, then roll each piece into a circular wrapper just under 1cm thick.
3. Step 3: Spoon a generous amount of cranberry sauce into the center of each wrapper, spreading it gently but keeping clear of the edges. Top with 4–6 pieces of brie and 2 tablespoons of chopped turkey.
4. Step 4: Bring all the edges of the dough circle together to form a parcel and pinch to seal. Turn the parcel over and flatten it slightly with your hands.
5. Step 5: Carefully roll out each sealed flatbread with a rolling pin, taking care not to tear the dough. If small tears happen, don’t worry—it won’t affect the final result.
6. Step 6: Heat a dry pan over low to medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 3–6 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden, crispy exterior. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For a richer flavor, try adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling before sealing.
• If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the turkey with sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables.
• Use a little olive oil in the pan if you want a crispier texture on the flatbreads.

Storage

Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them gently in a dry pan or in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes to restore their crispness. Avoid microwaving to keep the texture intact.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use plain flour instead of self-raising flour?

You can, but you’ll need to add 1½ teaspoons of baking powder to the plain flour to help the dough rise similarly to self-raising flour.

What can I do if the dough is too sticky?

If the dough feels too sticky to handle, sprinkle in a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, and knead gently until it becomes manageable but still soft.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dough

• 200g self-raising flour
• 170g Greek yogurt

Filling

• 4 tbsp cranberry sauce
• 100g brie, chopped into small pieces
• 8 tbsp leftover turkey, chopped into small pieces

Instructions

1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour and Greek yogurt with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead gently for 1 minute, then wrap in plastic wrap and set aside while you prepare the filling ingredients.
2. Prepare the dough pieces: Remove the dough from the wrap and knead again for 30 seconds until soft and bouncy. Slice the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a circular wrapper just under 1cm thick.
3. Add the fillings: Place a spoonful of cranberry sauce in the center of each wrapper, spreading gently but keeping it away from the edges. Top with 4-6 pieces of chopped brie and 2 tablespoons of chopped turkey on each flatbread.
4. Seal the parcels: Bring all the corners of the dough circles to the center and pinch them together to seal the parcels. Turn each parcel over and gently flatten it down.
5. Roll flatbreads: Use a rolling pin to gently roll each sealed parcel into a flatbread, being careful not to let the dough burst. If it does slightly, it’s not a problem.
6. Cook the flatbreads: Heat a pan over low to medium heat. Place the flatbreads in the dry pan (no oil needed) and dry fry each side for about 3 to 6 minutes until they are golden and cooked through.
7. Serve: Once cooked, serve the flatbreads warm and enjoy the festive blend of flavors.

Notes

• If the dough tears slightly when rolling, simply patch it up and continue; the dough is forgiving.
• No oil is needed to fry the flatbreads, making them lighter and less greasy.
• Feel free to swap turkey with other leftover meats or vegetarian alternatives.
• Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
