Moose and corn turnovers

Sydney Keddy (Oland)
If you’re in a rush, feel free to use store-bought pie dough, or even sheets of puff pastry. Both work exceptionally well in this recipe.
Servings 24 turnovers

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper chopped
  • 1 ear of corn kernels removed
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • ¾ lb ground moose
  • Salt and pepper taste
  • 1 recipe pie dough
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions
 

  • Set oven to 400 F. In a large cast iron skillet heat 1 tbsp olive oil until shimmering, then add onion, garlic, jalapeno, corn, tomato and parsley and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add ground moose. Cook, stirring often until moose is cooked, about 6 minutes. Add sugar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and allow to cool.
  • Roll out the pie dough and cut into 24 circles. Brush each circle of dough with beaten egg, then place 1 heaping tbsp of moose filling in the centre. Fold in half and seal edges with a fork. Place on a lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining filling and dough. Bake for 20 minutes or until brown.
