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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Arrange the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Let the turnovers cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a snack or appetizer!
