directions

  • ABOUT 45 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING: Place phyllo on waxed paper; cover with slightly damp paper towels to prevent phyllo from drying out. Place 1 sheet of phyllo (16x12-inch) on work surface; brush with some melted butter or margarine; cover with second sheet of phyllo; brush with melted butter or margarine. Slice sheets lengthwise in half to make 2 strips. Place 1 strip on top of the other, buttered-side up.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Drain and rinse sauerkraut; pat dry with paper towels. Place 1/6th of corned beef at end of strip. Spread 1 t. Russian dressing over corned beef; top with 1/6th of Swiss cheese and 1/6th of sauerkraut.
  • From corned beef end, fold one corner of phyllo strip diagonally over filling so that the short edge meets the long edge of strip, forming a right angle. Continue folding over at right angles, being careful to hold filling securely inside phyllo, until you reach the end of the strip to form a triangular package.
  • Place package, seam- side down, in 15x10-inch jelly-roll pan; brush with butter or margarine. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling to make 6 turnovers in all. Bake turnovers 20 minutes or until golden.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
