Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium, finely diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1.5 tablespoons curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional) cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup frozen peas
- 2 sheets, thawed store-bought puff pastry sheets
- 1 large, beaten egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to coat the turkey evenly with the spices.
Add the frozen peas to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the peas are heated through. Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the cooled turkey mixture onto the center of each square. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
Arrange the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Let the turnovers cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a snack or appetizer!
