     Title: Granada's Turkey Empanada
Categories: Poultry, Latino, Pastry, Chilies
     Yield: 8 Servings

     1 lb Ground turkey
     1 cl Garlic; minced
     1 c  Onion; chopped
   1/2 lg Bell pepper; chopped
     2 c  Tomato; chopped
     1 tb Dried parsley
     1 ts Dried cilantro
     1 ts Cumin
   1/2 ts Oregano
   1/2 ts Red pepper flakes
   1/8 ts Black pepper
    15 oz Pkg refrigerated pie crusts
     1    Egg white; beaten

 Set oven @ 400°F/205°C. In a large skillet, over medium
 heat, saute turkey, garlic, onion and green bell pepper
 until turkey is no longer pink in color, onions are
 transparent and bell peppers are tender-crisp.

 Stir in tomatoes, parsley, cilantro, cumin, red pepper
 flakes and black pepper. Stirring, occasionally, cook
 over medium heat about 15 minutes or until liquid is
 reduced.

 Spray cookie sheet with non stick cooking spray. Unfold
 one pie crust in the center of the cookie sheet.
 Carefully spread one half the meat mixture to within 1"
 of one half of pie crust. Brush exposed 1" of pie crust
 with egg white.

 Encase meat by folding other half of pie crust over meat
 mix. Using a fork, press edges of crust together. Pierce
 top of crust to make vent holes, allowing steam to
 escape.

 Repeat steps with remaining ingredients and pie crust.
 Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until pastry is golden
 brown.

 To serve, cut each empanada into 4 wedges.
