                        Filling
   1 1/2  pkgs.         fresh spinach, destemmed & rinsed
   2 1/2  cups          leftover turkey -- very finely chopped
     1/4  cup           dark raisins (optional) -- chopped
     2/3  cup           mayonnaise
     2/3  cup           sour cream
   2      teaspoons     curry powder
   2      teaspoons     cornstarch
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
                        Strudel
   8      sheets        phyllo dough
     1/2  cup           butter -- melted

Steam spinach for 2 to 3 minutes; drain very well (make sure to squeeze out
as much water as possible) and cool.  Mix together remaining filling
ingredients; stir in spinach.

Place one sheet of phyllo on an ungreased cookie sheet (keep remaining phyllo
under a damp towel to keep moist.)  Brush with melted butter.  Put on 3 more
sheets; brush with butter.  Place another sheet crosswise on top of the first
4 sheets; brush with butter.  Top with remaining sheets (going in same
direction as the last sheet) and brush with butter.

Spoon filling onto the middle of the phyllo sheets.  Bring phyllo sheets up
and over filling and shape into a round shape....make sure phyllo encloses
all of the filling.  (You can twist the top ends of the phyllo dough like a
Hershey's Kiss or just leave then lying flat over the top.)  Brush with
remaining butter.  Bake at 350 for 50 minutes or until golden brown.  Cut in
wedges to serve.
