Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso taco seasoning mix 2/3 cup water
1 1/2 cups Old El Paso Thick 'n Chunky salsa
1 lb ground turkey, cooked, drained
1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands biscuits
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese or Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)
1 cup sour cream, if desired

Bake at 375°F 9 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with remaining salsa, cheese and sour cream.

Tips:

  • To make sure the empanadas are crispy, be sure to fry them in hot oil. A good way to test if the oil is hot enough is to drop a small piece of dough into it. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
  • If you don't have a deep fryer, you can also bake the empanadas in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. This method will take a little longer, but it will still give you delicious and crispy empanadas.
  • To make your own taco seasoning, simply mix together the following spices: 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  • You can use any kind of cheese you like in these empanadas. Some popular options include cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and queso Oaxaca.
  • If you want to add a little extra flavor to the empanadas, you can brush them with melted butter or olive oil before baking or frying them.
