Turkey & Potatoes Empanadas With Salsa Verde image

These empanadas are an unusual and tasty game day appetizer. Onion, cumin, and fennel mixed with the turkey add so much flavor to the stuffing. We really loved dipping these into the salsa verde. The salsa verde adds a bit of tanginess to the empanadas. So yummy!

Overall, I thought these empanadas were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't great either.

The empanadas were a bit too dry for my taste. I would add more moisture to the filling next time.

The empanadas were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would use less chili powder next time.

The empanadas were difficult to fold and seal. I would recommend using a different folding technique next time.

The empanadas were a bit too greasy for my liking. I would drain the turkey and potatoes more thoroughly next time.

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

I substituted ground chicken for the turkey and it worked out great. The empanadas were still very moist and flavorful.
