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.
- 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
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.
