About
The classic sandwich transforms itself into a 5-star masterpiece snack experience. Ham & Cheese Turnovers are stuffed with the beloved combination of savory ham and melty, sharp cheese, with plenty of tangy mustard to help cut through all the meaty richness. But here's the best part — that's just the filling to the crusty, golden, buttery puff pastry exterior! Ham & Cheese Turnovers are little triangles of terrifically big taste!
