Chicken Or Turkey Pasties Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix ground turkey or chicken, crushed crackers, onion flakes, poultry seasoning, garlic salt or garlic powder, thyme, and black pepper.
• Shape into six patties each about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter or other size as desired. Adjust cooking time if changing size or thickness of patties.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add patties and cook on all sides for a total of 10 minutes or until nicely browned and internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant-read thermometer. Or,cut into one cooked patty to make sure it is no longer pink inside.

Steps:

• Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add butter and melt. Add apples and onions and season with a little salt, pepper and fennel seeds. Gently saute the mixture 5 minutes to soften and remove from heat to cool.
• Heat a griddle pan or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Place chicken in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, poultry seasoning, allspice, paprika and a healthy drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Add in the apples, onions and fennel and mix the sausage. Score meat into 4 sections and form 3 small, thin patties from each section, 2 1/2 inches across, 12 small patties total. Cook patties 3 to 4 minutes on each side and serve warm.

Steps:

• Combine chicken, onion, parsley, egg, garlic, sea salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix well. Add mayonnaise and stir to combine; the mixture will be quite soft.
• Place flour in a shallow bowl. Drop large spoonfuls of the chicken mixture into the flour. Roll to coat and press gently into patties.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken patties in the hot oil until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/ gas 7. Fry the bacon in a non-stick pan over a medium heat for a few mins, until it starts to release its fat. Add the potato, turn up the heat and fry for 5 mins, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the potato just underdone. Add the chilli and cook for a further min. Season generously with black pepper, plus salt to taste.
• Tip into a bowl and mix with the shredded chicken and spring onions. Unroll the pastry and, with a rolling pin, roll out until it's large enough to cut out 4 circles of pastry, using a large saucer or a side plate as a guide, discarding the trimmings. Lift onto a baking sheet.
• Spoon the filling into the middle of each circle. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little milk, then bring them up to the middle, pinching at the top to make a pasty. Brush with a little milk, then bake for 15 mins or until golden.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Shape into a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine meat, potatoes, onion, rutabaga and chopped carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Divide dough into six pieces, and shape into balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 6 inch round. Place approximately 1 cup filling on one half of each. Dot each with 1 tablespoon margarine. Draw the other half of the pastry over the filling. Crimp edges to seal in filling. Prick with a fork and place on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Sautee turkey, onions, garlic, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, chili, corn, broccoli, and peppers until turkey is no longer pink and onions are translucent.
• Roll out biscuits with a rolling pin until they are about 6 or 7 inches in diameter.
• Place a large dollop of meat filling in biscuit and fold in half into a half moon shape.
• Seal with water and cut steam vents into top.
• Brush top lightly with butter.
• Bake at 400 for about 15 to 20 minutes until nicely brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Mix together the turkey, potatoes, stuffing and vegetables, season to taste with the black pepper.
• Add the stock to the mixture, it should be moist and not too wet.
• Unroll the pastry and roll out further so you can cut out 4 large circles, use a side plate as a guide.
• Place the circles onto a baking sheet, spoon the filling into the middle of each circle.
• Brush the edges with the beaten egg, then bring them up to the middle and pinch the ends to seal.
• Brush the pasties with the rest of the egg and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
• NOTE: Vegetables I have used so far with success are carrots, brussels sprouts, peas and cabbage. And I also added grated cheese.

Steps:

• For the pastry, tip the flour into a large bowl and stir in ½ tsp salt. Grate in the cold butter and lard. Gently combine with your hands. Swiftly mix in 250ml ice-cold water using a cutlery knife. Tip the dough onto a surface and knead for 1 min until smooth. Wrap and chill for at least 1 hr.
• To make the filling, heat the butter in a flameproof casserole or large frying pan over a medium-low heat and fry the onions for 10-12 mins until softened and starting to caramelise. Add the chicken and cook for 5 mins more. Stir in the korma paste, curry powder and flour, turn up the heat to medium and fry for another 2 mins. Stir in the stock gradually, in several additions, then simmer for 3 mins until the mixture has thickened. Stir in the cream and mango chutney. Leave to cool completely. Once the mixture is completely cool, cover and chill for at least 3 hrs or overnight.
• Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Divide the chilled pastry into six pieces, weighing for accuracy, if you like. Form each piece into a ball, then roll each one out on a lightly floured surface to a 20cm circle. Working with one pastry circle at a time, spoon a sixth of the filling into the middle of the circle. Wet the edge around half the circle, then fold over to the dry edge and crimp using your fingers or a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining filling and pastry circles, placing them on the baking sheets as you go. Chill for 1 hr.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Brush the pasties with the beaten egg and bake for 50 mins-1 hr, or until golden. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then eat hot, or cool completely to pack for a picnic. Will keep chilled in an airtight container for up to two days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
• Dice the chicken into half-inch cubes.
• Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the chicken and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from the heat.
• Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each in half (cut the shortest distance through the middle so you are left with two short, fat rectangles not long thin ones).
• Add the pesto sauce and tomatoes to the chicken and stir to mix.
• Spoon equal amounts of the chicken mixture onto the pastry sheets, covering half of each sheet but leaving a gap at the edge to seal the pastry.
• Top the chicken mixture with the grated mozzarella cheese.
• Beat the egg. Brush egg around the inside edge of each pasty then fold the pastry over to seal. Crimp with a fork to reinforce the seal.
• Brush each pasty with the beaten egg.
• Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes (mine take closer to 20) until the pastry is golden.
• Serve hot and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. Melt the butter in a saucepan,add bacon and onion and cook until onion is soft. Remove from heat,stir in flour and blend in the milk. Return to heat and bring to a boil,stirring constantly. Stir in the chicken,salt,pepper and garlic and cook until it's heated. Remove from heat and cool. Roll out both sheets of pastry about 1/8 inch thick. Using a 4 inch pastry cutter,cut out about 20 circles. Transfer half the circles to a lightly floured surface,put 1 tablespoon of the filling on top of each,leaving room around the edge to seal. Moisten the outer edge of each circle with water and cover with the top layers. Pull up and seal as tightly as possible. Brush the top of each with the egg wash. Cit a few small slits in the top of each with the tip of a paring knife. Place on greased baking tray. Bake for 20-25 mins or until pasties are puffed and golden brown. Serve warm.
