  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) turkey or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup (250 mL) peas

  • Lay 1 phyllo sheet on work surface and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the turkey mixture in top centre of the sheet. Fold over both sides to create long rectangle; spray lightly with cooking spray. Fold point to point to create a triangle and place seam side down on parchment paper lined baking sheet.
