Beef and Sweet Potato Turnovers
"This was a recipe posted in Real Simple magazine. My Mother-in-law made it and it is wonderful! The puff pastry bakes up to a wonderful golden brown and is so light and flaky. This could be used with any kind of cheese and would be great with some cooked onions added to the mixture. I personally don't think you can taste the sweet potato very much, but it adds a slightly sweet flavor."

I am currently a student working towards my degree in education and have been married for almost 4 years! I moved to Iowa a few years ago and have learned that the local cuisine is not so figure friendly, so it has been nice to look for more healthy options available on Recipezaar!! I love to cook and especially love baking as I have an incredible sweet tooth! I love finding new methods of cooking and new recipes for everyday favorites. Recipezaar has helped me to become a better cook and my Hubby is thankful for that!
