Steps

40 minutes

1

First, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) with heat from the bottom. Cut the edges off one sheet of pastry to use for decoration and set them aside. Brush the edges of the pastry (about 1/2 inch wide) with beaten egg—this is where you'll seal the empanada. NOTE: Use the parchment paper that comes with the pastry to line your baking sheet. Prick the pastry several times with a fork to let steam escape.
2

Next, layer the turkey slices, then the cheese slices, and then spread the béchamel sauce on top.
3

Add another layer of turkey. Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry, brush with beaten egg, and decorate with the reserved pastry strips. Use a toothpick or fork to prick the top so it doesn't burst open while baking.
4

Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. If your oven heats unevenly, you may want to rotate the tray halfway through. Do not open the oven during the first 10 minutes to ensure the pastry rises properly. Enjoy!
