Directions:
Preheat over to 425º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and the mixture is dry, about 5 minutes. Carefully add the cognac and simmer until slightly syrupy. Add the cream and mustard, bring to a boil, and cook until the cream thickens slightly. Stir in the turkey an remove from the heat. Cool slightly.
Lay 1 puff pastry sheet on the baking sheet. Using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut it into squares. Mound some of the turkey mixture into the middle of each square, wet the edges with water, and fold over to make a triangle. Seal edges with a fork. Use scissors to cut two slits in the top of each turnover. Brush turnovers lightly with cream and bake for 25minutes or until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These are delicious, and a great way to use all that leftover turkey from thanksgiving! Other times of the year I find that using the rotisserie chicken pieces from the store turns this into a fast and easy meal.
