My grandma made these all the time and you can stuff them with anything. Although she made them from scratch, I found an easier way.

#GoldenApron23These turkey empanadas are exquisite. The turkey filling is excellent. They are delicious empanadas to get out of the routine of empanadas stuffed with beef.
