Mix cooked eggs with turkey until well combined. Process almonds, sugar and cinnamon in a food processor until almonds are crushed. Mix all the ingredients together The above steps can be done ahead of time, if desired. refrigerate ingredients until ready to cook. phyllo dough can be a little tricky to work with. For best results, thaw completely. It's important to keep the dough you are going to work with wrapped in a slightly damp kitchen towel, as the dough dries out very quickly and becomes fragile and breaks apart. Work quickly and cut filo into halfs, brush with melted butter Take a heaping table spoon of turkey mix and place in center on filo halves.
