Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 3 cups turkey leftover Butterball
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tsp thyme dried
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper  
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp allspice
  • ½ bunch scallions finely sliced
  • 1 scotch bonnet peppers finely diced
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 tsp beef bouillon cube

Pastry

  • 3 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 ½ tbsp turmeric
  • ½ cup lard cubed and chilled
  • ½ cup butter cubed and chilled
  • 1 ¼ cup ice water

Instructions
 

Pastry:

  • In a food processor, combine the flour, salt, curry powder, and turmeric powder until well combined.
  • Add the cold lard and butter and pulse. Pulse until the lard and butter are the size of a pea, then drizzle in the ice water just to bring together to a loose dough.
  • Transfer the dough to some plastic wrap, then shape into a disc. Cover well with plastic and allow the dough to chill completely in the fridge, at least one hour.

Filling

  • Add your leftover Butterball turkey to your food processor and blitz a few times until very fine (alternatively, you can finely chop your leftover turkey by hand).
  • In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and garlic, and cook while stirring for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the thyme, paprika, black pepper, curry, salt, and allspice and cook for another minute.
  • Add the scallions and scotch bonnet and cook for another minute.
  • Add the stock, bouillon, and then shredded turkey.
  • Cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes until all of the flavours have combined and the stock has cooked off completely. Set the mixture aside and allow to cool completely, at least 1 hour.

Putting it all together:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4" thick.
  • Using large cutters or a bowl, cut out evenly sized circles.
  • Fill each circle with about 3 tbsp of the turkey filling. Enclose each circle (to form a half-moon shape) then pinch each circle closed along the edges using a fork.
  • Transfer the filled patties to a lined baking sheet, then brush each with some egg wash. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden.  Enjoy!
