Empanada La Canadiana

Empanada La Canadiana

Good Morning! Yesterday, I created a new Empanada. I'm calling it Empanada La Canadiana because it has ingredients indigenous to Canada. I've got 4 types of empanadas now in my repertoire of empanadas. There is the traditional Chilean Empanada, the Peruvian Empanada, the Veggie Empanada and now Canadiana Empanada.

INGREDIENTS

3 packages of empanada shells (12 in a pack)
1 1lbs turkey breast, roasted and shredded
1 cup undressed coleslaw mix
3 tbsp turkey gravy
2 hardboiled eggs, diced
1/3 cup dried cranberries
200 g cheddar cheese, diced
1 tsp ground sage
1 tsp ground thyme
2 tbsp canola oil



1. Place 1 tbsp of the stuffing on one side of the emapanda shell, fold over and crimp with a fork or twist edges to close.

2. Put empanadas on a cookie sheet, puncture holes with a fork and brush on some canola oil.

3. Bake in a preheated 400 F for 25 minutes or until golden brown on the tip and bottom.

The stuffing should be enough for 36 empanadas. I didn't have enough shells for 36 so I improvised and made this round Empanada Luna.
