Thankul for Empanadas

Who says Thanksgiving has to be over after one weekend?
I have chosen to stretch it out this year by recreating all the flavors I have to be thankful for, in one special pouch.
Also, the recipe makes over a dozen, so they are great for work lunches and/or freezing for later.
You can substitute this Thanksgiving mixture for one of your favorites - the dough recipe is key to having successful Empanadas every time.
Enjoy.

I did the dough yesterday and kept it in the fridge in plastic wrap...once less thing to do on a busy workday.
For the dough-
In a food processor, blend 4 cups of flour, 2 tsps baking powder, 1 tbsp salt.
Add a few dashes each: dried rosemary, thyme, sage.
Add 3/4 cups cold, cubed unsalted butter and combine.
Finally, slowly add 1 cup of cold water- mix well.
Knead for 30 seconds, and refridgerate.

For the filling-
- Fry up a package of ground turkey, seasoned with sage, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper- A sprinkling of each is fine...
-Remove from pan and add butter to the empty pan, a few tbsps of chicken stalk, then add 1 cubed stalk of celery, 1 minced onion, 1 cubed potatoe.
-Add s/p and stir until everything softens, 3-4 mins.
-Add the chicken back a handful of each, frozen peas and dried cranberries.
- Allow to completely cool before "stuffing" your dough.

Assembly- I find this order of operations easiest and most efficient.
1. Roll out cold dough on a floured counter, until quite thin, but still workable (maybe 1/4 inch).
2. Make round pieces using a soup bowl, until all dough is done.
3. Next, pile 2 spoonfuls of the mix on one side of the circle, then fold over (without sealing just yet).
4. Preheat oven to 400
5. Now, prep eggwash- (beaten egg) and prep a glass of water and prep two baking trays with parchment paper.
6. Use your finger to moisten the bottom edge of the dough and then seal together with a fork.
7. When everyone is done, place on baking trays and brush each with eggwash.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes and voila!

They will be golden and Moolicious when they're done.
