Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Stir in the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, then remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the turkey mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Top the filling with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg wash, then fold them diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the turnovers to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm as a snack, appetizer, or light meal!
