A turnover is like a large dumpling with a skin of pastry stuffed with sweet or savory fillings. Similar to a baked or fried sandwich, turnover is made as a sort of portable meal or dessert. People like to have turnovers for breakfast or supper. Unlike sweet turnovers, which are mostly made with pastry dough, savory turnovers are made with kneaded yeast dough. Common fillings for savory turnovers in Western cuisines are chicken, beef, pork, potatoes, broccoli, onions and even cheese . On the other hand, in the East, the fillings are green onions and Garlic Chivess. Garlic Chives turnover, derived from Shandong, is a pan-fried snack made from eggs and flours with Garlic Chives fillings. Traditional Garlic Chives turnover fillings contain chopped Garlic Chivess, fried eggs or minced pork, and some will add fried with dried tofu or cellophane noodles.
