First, I browned one pound ground turkey in a skillet with one chopped onion. Then I added a small can of tomato paste, 4 t. chili powder, and 1 t. salt. I continued to cook it for another couple of minutes. Then I covered the meat mixture and put it in the fridge to cool.
Once it was cool, I laid out several won ton wrappers and brushed the edges with egg white. I put one tablespoon of the meat mixture in the middle of each wrapper, then folded them in half. I baked them in a 400 degree oven for 8 minutes. The recipe would have made 60 empanadas, but I got tired of the wrapping way before I made that many.
I also made dessert empanadas. I filled some with nutella, some with peanut butter and jelly, and some with mini peanut butter cups. The nutella ones were amazing! The chocolate-peanut butter ones were okay, although my lip got hit with some lava (aka molten hot peanut butter). The peanut butter and jelly ones were a wash, the jelly became a liquid and just leaked out all over the place.
