Mini Reuben Turnovers

My grandmother loved Reuben sandwiches and would order one anytime she got the chance. This is a great Pillsbury recipe for get togethers or parties.

Mini Reuben Turnovers

Ingredients:
2 oz corned beef (from deli), cut into pieces
1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese (1 oz)
2 tablespoons well drained sauerkraut, squeezed dry with paper towel
2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury crescent recipe creations refrigerated seamless dough sheet
1 egg, beaten, if desired
thousand island dressing, if desired

Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In food processor bowl with metal blade, place corned beef, cheese, sauerkraut, and mustard. Cover; process until finely chopped. If using crescent rolls: unroll dough; separate into 4 rectangles. Press each into 7 1/2 x 5 inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal. Cut each rectangle into 6 (2 1/2 inch) squares. If using dough sheet: unroll dough; cut into 4 rectangles. Press each into 7 1/2 x 5 inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle into 6 (2 1/2 inch) squares. Place 1 teaspoon corned beef mixture on each square. Fold one corner to opposite corner, forming triangle and pressing edges to seal; place on ungreased cookie sheet. With fork, prick top of each to allow steam to escape. Brush tops with egg. Repeat with remaining half of dough and corned beef mixture. Bake 9 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm with dressing, if desired.
