Makes 30 - 32 3-inch turnovers

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound coarsely ground beef or pork
  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • 1 cup Frontera Roasted Tomato Salsa, Frontera Chipotle Salsa or Frontera Red Pepper & Garlic Salsa
  • 1/2 cup each: chopped green olives, raisins
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • Salt, about 3/4 teaspoon
  • 2 packages (15 ounces each) refrigerated ready-made pie dough
  • 1 large egg beaten with 2 tablespoons milk

 

  1. In a large skillet set over medium heat, cook pork and onion in oil, stirring, until nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Add salsa, olives, raisins, brown sugar and salt; cook until thick, about 5 minutes. Cool.
  2. On a lightly floured work surface, roll pie dough to about 1/16th of an inch thick. Cut out 12 3-inch circles. Lightly paint the edges of each circle with water. Scoop about 1 1/2 teaspoons of filling onto each, fold over and press edges together with a fork. Put on lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops with egg-milk mixture. Bake at 400 degrees until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve warm.
