Ingredients

  • 12 sheets fresh phyllo dough (thawed, about 1/3 lb.) or 12 sheets frozen phyllo dough (thawed, about 1/3 lb.)
  • 12 cup butter or 12 cup margarine, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sauerkraut
  • 34 lb thinly sliced corned beef
  • 2 tablespoons Russian salad dressing
  • 2 cups swiss cheese, shredded

Method

  • 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.
