Best Baked Turkey Sausage Empanadas Recipes
MIDDLE EASTERN GROUND TURKEY EMPANADAS
I wanted to create a new type of empanada using some middle-eastern spices and a healthier meat. These little babies would be great to take on a picnic, in a lunch, or to the beach. They are also a low-calorie, low-fat meal. These have no cheese or red meat, and would be fine for IBS sufferers.

Steps:
- Remove discos from freezer to defrost. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Brown ground turkey in skillet, drain fat.
- Add green onion, onion, red pepper, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until soft. Add salt, spices, tomato paste and water. If you have no tomato paste, you can use some tomato sauce. If you have no baharat, you can substitute with a small amount of clove, cardamom, coriander, and nutmeg (or leave it out if you prefer). When filling has been sufficiently mixed, remove from heat.
- Take a disco from the packaging and place it on a piece of wax paper. Put a tablespoon or two of filling on one side. (You can use refrigerated biscuit dough or frozen pie crust if you cannot find discos, but you may need to adjust baking time and temp.) Seal edges using fork tines to go around the edge on the top and bottom of empanada. Then set aside on plate in fridge. Repeat this with the rest of the discos until all filling is gone.
- Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray and lay the empanadas on the sheet. Brush tops of empanadas with beaten egg, for gloss. Bake empanadas ten minutes or until golden brown. Then bake second batch same way.

Steps:
- 1. Making Empanada Dough
- 2. In a bowl, combine all wet ingredients, beat well and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together flour and salt. Then add shortening and cut into the flour mix with a pastry blender or a fork.
- 3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and mix in wet ingredients, blend well with a fork until dough becomes stiff. (You may add a little more cold water if required at this point.)
- 4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough until all the flour is incorporated and the dough is smooth. Then wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about one hour. Dough will make about (10) 6" empanadas.
- 5. Making Sausage Filling
- 6. While dough is chilling, in a large skillet over medium heat add olive oil, onions, garlic, diced peppers and saute for about 2 - 3 minutes then add sausage; breaking it up into small pieces,cooking for 5 to 7 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink.
- 7. Then add fresh basil and combine well. Remove sausage mixture from skillet and drain excess liquid and place in bowl. While sausage is warm add 1/2 of shredded cheese and blend well.
- 8. Take dough from refrigerator and place on lightly floured surface and cut in 1/2 to make the first 5 empanada shells. Then repeat the process.
- 9. Form empanada dough into mold and seal edges. If you do not have a mold, then 6" cookie cutter and cut out circles. Fill empanada dough with about tablespoon of filling and add a little more cheese. Then fold and use a fork to press the edges together.
- 10. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, place empanadas on parchment lined baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash and bake until brown for about 30 to 40 minutes.
- 11. Remove and serve. Enjoy
