Mini Meat Turnovers

Ingredients:


1-1/4 pound  lean ground beef
1 15-ounce can  tomato sauce
2 teaspoons  chili powder
2 teaspoons  dried oregano, crushed
1 teaspoons  garlic powder
1 tablespoon  snipped fresh cilantro
2 10- to 12-ounce packages (20 total)  refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
Milk
Salsa (optional)


Directions:

For filling, in a large skillet cook ground beef until brown; drain off fat. Stir in tomato sauce, chili powder, oregano, and garlic powder.

Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cilantro.

Grease a large baking sheet; set aside. Separate biscuits; cut each biscuit in half horizontally.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of biscuit dough into a 4-inch circle. Place about 1 tablespoon filling onto half of each circle. Fold opposite side of circle up and over filling.

Brush edges with a little milk; seal edges with a fork.


Place filled turnovers 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet; brush with milk. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from baking sheet.

Cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm. If desired, serve with salsa for dipping. Makes 40 turnovers.


Make Ahead Tip:


Cool turnovers completely on wire racks. Place in an airtight freezer container; freeze for up to 3 months. 



To reheat, transfer frozen turnovers to an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through.

To Tote:


Cover hot turnovers tightly. Transport in an insulated carrier.

Tip:

If making the 40-turnover recipe, remove only one package of biscuits from the refrigerator at a time.
