Instructions for Turkey Empanadas Grande

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute turkey, garlic, onion, and green pepper until turkey is no longer pink in center.
2. Stir in tomatoes, parsley, cilantro, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Stirring occasionally, cook over medium heat about 15 minutes or until most the liquid is reduced.
3. Spray cookie sheet with non-stick oil. Unfold one pie crust in center of cookie sheet. Carefully spread one half of turkey mixture to within 1-inch of one-half pie crust.
4. Brush 1 inch of pie crust with egg white. Encase turkey by folding other half of pie crust over turkey. Using a fork, press edges of crust together and pierce top of crust to make holes to allow steam to escape.
