Turkey & Potatoes Empanadas With Salsa Verde image

These empanadas are an unusual and tasty game day appetizer. Onion, cumin, and fennel mixed with the turkey add so much flavor to the stuffing. We really loved dipping these into the salsa verde. The salsa verde adds a bit of tanginess to the empanadas. So yummy!

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but I'm willing to give these empanadas a try.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my empanadas turned out really dry. The dough was tough and the filling was crumbly. I think I might have overcooked them.

These empanadas were a bit too greasy for my taste. The dough was a bit thick and the filling was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Just made these empanadas and they were delicious! The dough was flaky and the filling was flavorful. I didn't have any salsa verde on hand so I used a store-bought chimichurri sauce instead. It worked out great!

These empanadas were easy to make and turned out great! I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and they were perfect. The salsa verde really made the dish.
