When pears are baked for a long time, the exposed flesh turns dry and grainy, but when insulated between layers of pastry, as in this giant turnover, they turn perfectly juicy and soft. The pears must be precooked though, or they would release too much moisture inside the pastry, so i bathe halves in a sage-infused caramel and roast them just until they’re tender. It’s a true delight to eat the nearly-whole pears inside the flaky turnover, and perfect for your Thanksgiving table
