This recipe makes two large empanadas. Be careful when placing the meat on the pie crust, it tends to make the dough soggy and tears easy.

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 pies, cut into 3rds, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground turkey
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
garlic salt, to taste
1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg white, beaten

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute turkey, garlic, onion, and green pepper until turkey is no longer pink in center. Stir in parsley, cilantro, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Stirring occasionally, cook over medium heat about 15 minutes or until most the liquid is reduced.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Spray cookie sheet with non-stick oil. Unfold one pie crust on one side of cookie sheet. Carefully spread one half of meat mixture to within 1-inch of one-half pie crust. Brush 1 inch of pie crust with egg white. Encase meat by folding other half of pie crust over meat mixture. Using a fork, press edges of crust together and pierce top of crust to make holes to allow steam to escape.
  • Repeat steps with remaining ingredients and pie crust on other side of cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F. 20 to 25 minutes. To serve, cut each empanada into 3 wedges.

I would not recommend this recipe. The empanadas were very difficult to make and didn't taste very good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the empanadas didn't turn out well. The crust was too thick and the filling was bland.

These were okay, but I've had better empanadas. The filling was a little dry.

These empanadas were a little bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning to the filling next time.

These are the best empanadas I've ever had! The turkey filling is so moist and flavorful, and the crust is crispy and flaky.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but these empanadas were surprisingly good. The filling was flavorful and the crust was perfect.

I followed the recipe exactly and the empanadas turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the filling.
