INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1/4 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 tbsp Tomato Paste
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 serving Whole Wheat Dough
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables soften.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Break it apart and cook until it is no longer pink. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
Divide the whole wheat dough into portions suitable for empanadas. Roll each portion into a small circle.
Place a portion of the turkey picadillo mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold over to seal, pressing the edges with a fork to secure the filling inside.
Arrange the empanadas on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the dough is lightly golden and crisp.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
