Pistachio Party Bites

12 ounces ground turkey, uncooked
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 cup chopped shelled pistachios
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black ground pepper
1 (17.25-ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg yolk

1. Sauté turkey, mushrooms and onion in oil until turkey is cooked and onion is tender; break turkey into small pieces. Add pistachios, oregano, salt and pepper; mix well. Roll each sheet of pastry to 16 X 12-inches; cut into 12 squares (4 X 4-inches each). Place about 1 rounded tablespoon filling on one side of pastry square; moisten edges with water. Fold in half to enclose filling; press firmly with fork to seal. Place on baking sheet.
2. Beat egg yolk and water together; brush over pastries. Bake at 400° F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Serve hot. Makes 24 pieces.

Serving size: 24.

Variation: 12 ounces pork sausage can be substituted for turkey. Omit oil, salt and pepper; omit oregano if desired.

Cooking Tip: Pastries can be prepared ahead to the point of baking and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
