Ingredients

• 250 grams Lean ground chicken or turkey
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 100 grams Peas, fresh or frozen
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, finely chopped
• 8 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground chicken or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it up as you go, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the meat. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the peas, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are well mixed. Remove from heat and mix in the cilantro.

Step 5

Let the meat mixture cool slightly. While it cools, lay out one phyllo pastry sheet on a clean, flat surface, and lightly spray it with olive oil. Cover the unused phyllo sheets with a damp towel to prevent drying.

Step 6

Fold the phyllo sheet in half lengthwise. Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture at one end of the strip.

Step 7

Fold the corner of the phyllo strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding until you reach the end of the strip, maintaining the triangular shape.

Step 8

Lightly spray the top with olive oil and place the samosa on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the samosas are golden brown and crispy. Serve warm.
