Time 40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large egg
1 ½ teaspoons salt
⅓ cup water
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
½ pound leftover meatloaf, or more as desired
2 ½ tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons crushed bay leaf
2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Sift flour into a bowl. Add butter, egg, water, and vinegar. Combine, mashing with your hands, until dough is well blended and sticks together.
  • Put meatloaf in a bowl and add chili powder, crushed bay leaves, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Mash together until well mixed.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add meatloaf and cook until hot and browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Flour a work surface and roll out dough. Cut out 10 circles.
  • Add an equal amount of meatloaf filling to each circle. Fold dough over and use a fork to enclose and seal empanadas. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Whisk egg yolks in a bowl and brush over empanadas.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until slightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

I made these empanadas with leftover turkey and they were delicious! The filling was moist and flavorful, and the crust was crispy and flaky. I will definitely be making these again with different leftover meats.
