How to Make Curried Turkey Turnovers

  1. If turkey is frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a 10-inch skillet, brown 1 lb ground turkey with 1 medium onion (chopped).
  3. Drain off any excess fat.
  4. Stir in 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup raisins, 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. If needed, remove the lid and cook over high heat for 3-4 minutes, or until any liquid evaporates.
  6. Transfer the filling to a bowl and let it cool completely.
  7. While the filling cools, let the frozen pie crusts sit at room temperature.
  8. Prepare the turnovers: Unfold or unroll two 14.1 oz packages of refrigerated pie crusts.
  9. Lightly dust the work surface with flour.
  10. Place the pie crusts, floured side down, on a baking sheet.
  11. Spread half of the cooled filling evenly over half of each crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
  12. Moisten the edges of the crust with water.
  13. Gently fold the other half of the crust over the filling.
  14. Crimp and seal the edges with a fork.
  15. Wrap each turnover individually in aluminum foil.
  16. Seal, label, and freeze for later use.
  17. To bake immediately: Brush turnovers with beaten egg and cut slits in the dough to release steam.
  18. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  19. For frozen turnovers, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until heated through.
  20. Serve warm with a dollop of plain yogurt, sour cream, or chutney.
