Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated pie crust sheets
- 1 1/2 cups diced cooked turkey
- 1/3 cup turkey gravy, cold, from leftovers or a jar
- 3/4 cup mashed potatoes, cold, seasoned
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 3/4 cup leftover turkey dressing, bread or cornbread
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
Instructions:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each pastry round to about 12 inches. Cut out three 6-inch rounds, then roll the remaining scraps out to cut out 1 more 6-inch round. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the turkey with the gravy and set aside.
- Combine the mashed potatoes with parsley in another small bowl.
- On each 6-inch round, mound about 1 1/2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes.
- Top with about 1 tablespoon of dressing, then about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the turkey mixture. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
- Cut a few slits in the top of each empanada and arrange on a parchment paper or silicone lined baking sheet.
- Wet the edges with water, fold over, and seal with the tines of a fork.
- Beat the egg white and water together and brush each empanada lightly with the mixture.
- Bake for about 12 to 14 minutes, or until nicely browned.
- Serve with cranberry sauce on the side.
