Turnovers make a great finger-food for the outdoors. Add a slight twist to an old classic by substituting the traditional potato for sweet potato and you’ve got a real masterpiece!

Ingredients:

1 package mini frozen flaky dough squares
1 large onion, diced
2 tablespoons oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoon cream cheese
2 large sweet potatoes-cooked
Black pepper

Directions:

• Sauté onions on low flame until soft. Add garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
• Peel cooked sweet potatoes and mash in a medium size bowl. Add cream cheese, sautéed onion & garlic, and salt. Use a fork to mix ingredients until well combined. Add black pepper to taste.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Remove flaky dough from freezer and allow it to defrost until it is workable. You want to make sure it doesn’t defrost too much since it will become unusable. Place a tablespoon of the sweet potato mixture in the center of each square. Wet the edges of each square slightly before folding the dough diagonally to form a triangle. Use the tines of a fork to seal edges.
• Prick each top with a fork. Place on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Bake until golden, approximately 15-20 minutes. Serve hot.
