YIELD: 1 dozen.Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons ice water, divided
FILLING:- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup finely chopped cooked turkey
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- 1. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon ice water; gradually add to flour with remaining water as needed, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Shape into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
- 2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, turmeric and cinnamon; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds longer. Stir in turkey, raisins, salt and pepper.
- 3. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 4-in. round cookie cutter. Place a heaping tablespoon filling in center of each circle. Moisten edges with water; fold in half and press edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- 4. In a deep skillet or electric skillet, heat 1/2 in. oil to 375°. Fry turnovers, a few at a time, 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
