This recipe, from Scott Uehlein, executive chef at the renowned Canyon Ranch Health Resort in Tucson, Arizona, is surprisingly simple. Essentially, it's a phyllo dough turnover with fruit filling. It comes out flaky and delicious. You'd never know it was lowfat.
Serves 4

Ingredients

* 2 teaspoons butter
* 2 teaspoons sugar
* 3 small bananas, thinly sliced
* 2 teaspoons rum
* 1 teaspoon banana liqueur
* 4 sheets phyllo dough
* Canola oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and dissolve. Add bananas and cook 1 minute. Add rum and liqueur and cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat. On a work surface lay 1 sheet of phyllo at a time with the narrow end toward you. Lightly spray or brush the sheet with oil. Fold sheet into thirds, lengthwise. Spray again with oil. Spoon 3 tbsp filling onto phyllo strip, about 1 1/2 inches from the bottom and slightly to the left. Fold up a 1 1/2-inch flap to cover filling. Fold lower left corner of phyllo diagonally to the right side of dough to cover filling. Continue folding flag-style until you reach the end of the sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and filling. Place turnovers onto a baking sheet lightly coated with oil. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
