These empanadas are so easy to make. They have only four ingredients and are wonderful on cold winter days.
Ingredients:
1 can of biscuits (A ten count can)
1/2 a jar of tomato sauce ( We love Ragu Garden Style!)
1/2 pound of ground turkey
1/2 a package of taco seasoning
Directions:
- Separate the can of biscuits into individual biscuits.
- Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut a heart out of each of the biscuits.
- In a saucepan brown ground turkey.
- Add tomato sauce and taco seasoning to the drained meat mixture.
- Place a spoonful of the mixture on half of the heart shaped biscuits.
- Place one of the empty biscuits on top of each of the filled ones.
- Press down the edges using a fork to seal the hearts.
- Cook according the directions on the biscuit package.
What did I do with the scraps?
I wrapped the scraps from each biscuit into a twist and cooked them with the empanadas. They aren’t pretty, but they tasted great!
What else could I fill these with?

I made something similar once and added some spinach and onions to get extra veggies in 🙂
I have never heard of empanadas but they look quite easy to make! I should give it a go one of these days. I’m pretty sure E would love eating these 🙂

Ohmygosh! This just sounds awesome!!! LOVE the heart shape! Sounds like I have a great idea for next Monday – thank you Sweetie!!!!!

I especially like this because it’s a main dish. There are a gillion sweet ideas but not savory. Thanks!
It looks so awesome and want to try it.
We are going to be making these again this year! So glad you linked up two years ago so I could find this easily again. Happy Valentine’s Day!
