Ingredients

250 grams of spinach
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of dried cranberry
1 medium onion
2 tablespoons of coarsely chopped almond
1 pound of boneless turkey
3 tablespoons of dijon mustard
1/4 cup of butter
6 cups of sheet mille feuille
1 egg
2 tablespoons of water
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of black pepper

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
After sautéing the cranberry and almond for another 20-30 seconds, add the spinach. salt and
flavor it with black pepper. Saute for 8-10 minutes on medium heat. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 400 °F. Turn the turkey thigh on the counter. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Wrap the turkey leg in rolls. Secure the roll with butcher string, butcher's net or long garbage skewers. Mix the butter and mustard in a small bowl and rub it on the outer surface. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Seal the turkey leg by turning it over until browned on each side. Wrap the turkey roll with aluminum foil and transfer to a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Transfer the cooked turkey to the cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice into 2 inch thick slices.
Take the puff pastry out on the counter and let it thaw for 5 minutes. Mix the egg and water in a small bowl and set aside. Cover the bottom of a baking tray with baking paper. Lower the oven temperature to 356 °F.
Cut the puff pastry dough in half. Thin slightly with the help of a rolling pin. Place turkey thigh slices and 2 tablespoons of sauteed spinach in the middle of a puff pastry square. Brush the egg mixture around the edges of the puff pastry. Lay a second square of puff pastry on top and press the edges to close. Shape it with a cylindrical mold. Brush the egg mixture on top and transfer to the tray. Prepare the remaining five turkey "Wellingtons" in the same way and place them on the tray.
Bake the Turkey Wellingtons in a preheated oven at 356 °F until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
Serve it with sautéed vegetables, baked potatoes and gravy sauce.
