Turnovers may be assembled and frozen before baking. If baking from frozen, add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Keep unused phyllo dough covered with a damp towel at all times to prevent it from drying out and cracking.

Ensure the mushroom mixture is well-drained and cooled before assembling to prevent soggy pastry.
