Empanadas

I was going to give these a shot but was wondering if anyone bakes them? I know they're typically fried but I was trying to lighten it up a bit.

TIA!

What temp and for how long? Do they brown on their own or do you brush them with egg or anything?

Thanks!

@ 375 for maybe 15-20 minutes, until they are gold brown.
Yes, brush with eggwash!

Re: Empanadas

I did a search and found this one....I'm gonna give it a shot!

Empanadas

10 white or yellow Goya discos (I prefer the yellow) – they are in the frozen food section
1 lb of chopped meat (or ground turkey)
1 clove garlic
2 slices onion diced small
1/4 green pepper diced small
1/4 red pepper diced small
1 packet Goya Sazon con Culantro y achiote
1 packet Goya chicken broth powder
onion powder (good sprinkle to cover lightly)
Goya Adobo (good sprinkle to cover lightly)
Shredded cheese (I use the taco blend)
Olive Oil

Thaw out the Discos for about 2 hours before you start

Place the chop meat in a large skillet with the heat on medium

Add Garlic, Onions, Red & Green Pepper

Stir until beef browns and juice develops (a few minutes)

Add the powdered ingredients, stir nicely, be sure every area is seasoned

Let heat a bit, let stand on low for a few minutes.

Take the discos one at a time, and roll them with a rolling pin a little thinner and bigger. Scoop in two tablespoons of filling and sprinkle some shredded cheese on top, placing in the middle of the discos. Fold over.

Fork the edges together, continue until done (you may have some meat left over)

In a large frying pan heat a few cups of olive oil and fry each empanada 2 minutes on each side. Drain well on paper towels and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.
