Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound minced beef Lean is preferred
- 1 cup turnip Peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion Chopped
- 2 cloves garlic Minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper Freshly ground
- 1 pack puff pastry Thawed according to package instructions
- 1 large egg Beaten, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the minced beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, around 5 minutes.
- Stir in the diced turnip, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the turnip is tender.
- Roll out the puff pastry into a large square. Cut into four smaller squares if necessary.
- Place a generous spoonful of the beef and turnip mixture onto each square, folding the corners into the center to enclose the filling. Brush the tops with beaten egg.
- Transfer pastries to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce or some grated cheese into the filling.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute minced beef with lentils or mushrooms.
