How to Make Sweet Potato Turnovers or Truchas de Navidad - Step-by-Step Recipe

Place on cookie sheet or baking stone and brush off any excess flour. Whisk the egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water. Brush the top of each trucha or turnover with beaten egg yolk. This will give them a beautiful golden color when baked. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the turnovers turn golden. Remove and allow to cool on a rack for approximately 10 minutes.
