Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, add the EVOO, onions and ground turkey. Cook, stirring occasionally, to break up the turkey as it cooks.
Cook until the turkey is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Then add the garlic, black beans, corn, tomato paste, green chilies, water, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir well to mix everything together and simmer for about 5-10 minutes until the water is absorbed .
Remove the skillet from the heat. Lay out the round pie crusts and divide the filling between the 2 pie crusts. Place the filling in a line down the center of the pie crusts. Do not overfill them (you need to be able to fold them over to close) or they will break open while baking. You may have some leftover filling, depending on the size of your pie crusts.
Top with shredded cheese and fold the pie crust over onto itself. Pinch it closed with your fingers first and then use a fork to seal shut. Brush the pie crusts with the egg wash and cut a few small slits in the top.
Bake for about 20 minutes until the empanadas are golden brown. Let the empanadas cool for a few minutes and then slice each empanada in 4 slices. Serve with salsa, sour cream or guacamole.
