How to Make Mushroom Turnovers by Sisterhood of Temple Avoda

Step-by-Step

Pre-heat oven to 450º.
Combine cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter, and 1 and 1/2 cup flour. Blend well and chill for one hour.
Melt 3 tablespoons butter, add mushrooms and onion; cook, stirring, for a few minutes. Add thyme, salt and pepper; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons flour. Mix well. Stir in the cream and cook very gently until thickened (a few minutes). Set aside to cool.
Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 2 and 1/2 inch rounds (with glass, if need be). Place 1 teaspoon filling in center of each round. Fold dough in half and pinch ends to seal. Prick with fork. Freeze at this point, if desired.
Bake in a 450º oven for 15 minutes. If frozen bring to room temperature or add 5 to 8 minutes to baking time.
