Irish or not, I hope you’ll be making yourself some corned beef & cabbage this week to pay homage to St. Patrick’s Day. And should you have any corned beef left over, do yourself a favor and make these Corned Beef & Cabbage Turnovers. I intended to serve them as an appetizer, but they were so filling that they turned out to be dinner instead 
Here’s the How-To:
Saute chopped corned beef with a little onion and some coleslaw mix (or just plain shredded cabbage).
Cut out 9 (2 3/4-inch) squares from two sheets of puff pastry. If you don’t have one of these fancy schmancy square cutters, just use a knife to cut them.
Bake them up for 20 minutes, until they’re golden brown. Serve with mustard sauce… either a simple mix of mayo & dijon, or try this good lookin’ mustard sauce from this wonderful appetizer website.
Our family loved ‘em! They were apparently kid-friendly too since my 8 year old gobbled them up, cabbage and all.
I’m not Irish myself, but since the husband is… I’ve gotta come up with some festive things to cook around St. Patrick’s Day every year. This was a good choice. Happy St. Patrick’s Day week!

OMG what a great idea. They look super delicious. I always wondered about the idea if corned beef and cabbage being Irish as it isn’t really eaten here as a sort of national dish. Bacon and cabbage is the thing here. I did a little research and……….apparently when the Irish took off to the Americas pork was not to be had so corned beef took the place of the bacon so it is an Irish /American dish.

These look delicious. I love corned beef but rarely buy it. What a great way to use it.

I cannot believe that I have never been to your site before. This recipe looks so good. I wanted to do corned beef this year but my husband does not like it. He may like it if I put in in puff pastry

YUM!! I just made corned beef melts, but I think I like this idea even better. Recipes like this make leftovers even better than the original meal!

Everything tastes better in puff pastry, right?
And since the filling is so flavorful, I’m sure they are delicious!

These turnovers look wonderful. Crispy on the outside with all that goodness on the inside. I am right there with your 8 year old, yum!

These look fun! I’m not a big fan of corned beef and cabbage, but I think I’d probably give these a try!

What an innovative and fun idea. And, with that kind of pastry, not too rich. A great idea for left overs. Fun for kids to make, too.
Timely as in my fridge are some different left overs, but they would be perfect folded into a bit of pastry for a weekend dinner with a fresh salad.

What an awesome idea!! I love this!
I wish I had some corned beef leftover to make these, but I live with ravenous teenagers that successfully eat me out of house and home

Oh, they are so cute!
I wish I could say we had leftovers but sadly no, they were all gobbled up. Typically I make two corned beefs but only made one.These look so great, I may just have to make another
