Phyllo/filo is usually used for that.

make beef stew pockets. Separate the solids from the liquids in the stew, stuff the solids into the pastry, fold over & crimp, bake in the oven, and keep the liquids to serve as a hot gravy on top.

Everything gets done in the oven in a casserole, I then place the Puffed Pastry on
the center of a plate fill it up and a few extra spoon fulls so it flows over then garnish
with toasted panko crumbs I had earlier set aside.

Okay. Sounds like a nice way to serve.

Very true

I think over the years, I've used this more with Turkey as there is always more leftovers.

OP asked for ideas. I like the spanakopita filling in many ways. I do not like to be rigid.

Only mentioned it because I've seen posts where people get confused over puff and phyllo/filo.

Beef wellington is made with puff pastry. Any other type of filling can be used for a wellington; it doesn't have to be beef.


You can make palmiers with herbs and garlic, or herbs and cheese. Palmiers don't have to be sweet. Some herb palmiers would really wow guests if you were serving nibbles, and they aren't too hard to make. (guests might get crumbs on your carpet if you were handing them out at cocktail parties)
