Cooking steps

Prep the Veg
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.    
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion as finely as you're able.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.

TIP: Keep the pastry in the fridge until step 4 so it's cold and easy to handle. 

Soften the Veg
2
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Add the onion and garlic and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P).
  • Cook for 2-3 mins. Season with salt.
  • Add the passata, Mexican spice and stock.
  • Fry, stirring, 30 secs.
Cook the Turkey
3
  • Meanwhile, coat the turkey with salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.  
  • Lay the turkey on a lined baking tray. Bake until golden and cooked through, 10-15 mins.  IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw turkey and its packaging. Turkey is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Once cooked, chop into small chunks and stir into the sauce.
Dress the Salad
4
  • Meanwhile, make your dressing by mixing the vinegar with a drizzle of oil in a salad bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Just before serving, add the sweetcorn and salad leaves.
  • Toss to coat in the dressing.
Bake the Empanadas
5
  • Roll out the pastry. Cut into quarters to create four equal rectangles (per 2P).
  • Lightly moisten the edges with water, then place a little filling in the centre of each, without overloading.
  • Fold each empanada in half to form a triangle. Pinch the edge with a fork to seal.
  • Pop onto a lined baking tray. Brush with milk. Bake until golden brown, 18-20 mins. IMPORTANT: Turkey is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Finish and Serve
6
  • Divide the salad between plates.
  • Arrange the empanadas alongside.

TIP: If you have any leftover filling, serve it as an accompaniment to the salad and empanadas!
