Dust with flour and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough balls to rest at room temperature until easy to stretch, about 45 minutes. Adjust an oven rack to the center position and heat oven to 425°F/218°C. Working 1 at a time and leaving the rest covered as you work, roll and stretch each ball of dough into a circle about 7" in diameter. Working with 1 circle at a time, layer a total 1 cup of leftovers in a log about 2" wide and 5" long down the center: Start with a layer of stuffing, which absorbs the juices as the pockets bake, then add vegetables, turkey, cranberry sauce and gravy. Do not overstuff. Fold the top and bottom of the dough over the ends of the log. Lift the right side over the log, stretching it a little to completely cover the filling while making sure the top and bottom stay tucked in. Fold the left side over and repeat. You should end up with a neat package about the size of a Chinese egg roll. Repeat with the remaining dough circles and filling. Transfer the pockets seam side down to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Combine the heavy cream or milk with 2 tb of leftover gravy (if you have any) and brush the pockets with the mixture. (You can use plain heavy cream or milk if you do not have any leftover gravy.) Use a sharp knife to cut three slits on the top of the pockets for ventilation. Sprinkle the pockets with a dusting of shredded Parmesan or lay a half slice of Swiss or Cheddar on top of each one. Bake until deep golden brown, 12 to 18 minutes. Serve immediately with extra gravy and cranberry sauce for spooning or dipping. You can also refrigerate the cooked pockets and reheat them in a toaster oven, about 7 minutes at 425°F/218°C. TIP: You can also use canned pizza dough or thawed frozen puff pastry for this. Divide and roll the dough into 6 (7" by 6") rectangles. When forming the pockets, fold one side over the other and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Bake as directed. Recipe by J.
