Savory Meat Turnovers Recipe

Ingredients:

• 500g puff pastry dough
• 300g minced beef or lamb
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg, beaten (for glazing)
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • Heat a pan over medium heat, add a little oil, and cook the onions until soft.
   • Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
   • Add the minced meat, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned. Set aside to cool.
2. Assemble the Turnovers:
   • Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
   • Cut into rounds using a large cookie cutter.
   • Spoon the meat mixture onto half of each round, leaving a margin at the edge.
   • Fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
3. Cook the Turnovers:
   • Heat oil in a deep fryer or a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
   • Brush each turnover with beaten egg.
   • Fry the turnovers until golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes on each side.
   • Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
