Smoky Turkey Empanadas

• for the pastry
• 4 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 sticks cold, unsalted butter, cut into chunks
• 2 large eggs
• 2/3 cup water
• 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
• for the filling
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground turkey (not extra lean)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 reen bell pepper, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ancho or other chili powder
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 cup crumbled queso fresco
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

1. Pulse the butter and flour in the work bowl of a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Note: if you don't have a food processor, work the butter and flour between your fingers until you have the same consistency.
2. Beat together the eggs, water and vinegar in a small bowl and add to the flour mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gather the dough together. Knead gently once or twice, just enough to bring the dough together. Shape into a flat rectangle and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap for at least 1 hour.
3. Adjust oven racks to the top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 of the oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil, onion, bell pepper and garlic and saute 4-5 minutes until vegetables soften. Add the ground turkey and brown the meat while breaking it apart with the back of a fork or wooden spoon. Add the fresh tomato, raisins cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until mixture is well blended - adjust seasonings if necessary. Remove from heat, stir in queso fresco and place the lid on the pan. Set aside.
5. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one piece of dough to 1/8" thick. Cut the dough into 5" rounds and transfer to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Repeat until all the dough has been rolled and cut.
6. (If you're using the store-bought pastry, this is where they come into play.) Mound 2 tablespoons of turkey filling onto the pastry and carefully fold over, pressing along the edge to seal the dough. Use the tines of a fork to press the edge together and make a decorative border.
7. Add the egg and water to a small bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Use a pastry brush to paint the empanadas with the egg wash. Bake for 25 minutes, alternating the baking sheets halfway through cooking. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and serve.
