These Middle Eastern-inspired Turkey, Apricot & Cranberry Tarts are filled with lots of delicious warming spices and dried fruit. These succulent tarts are super easy and will make a great holiday appetizer this season!
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Add the ground turkey, grated onion, cranberries, apricots, salt, pepper and spices to a large mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients together until combined.
Sprinkle some flour on a clean worksurface and use a rolling pin to roll out the puff pastry into a 12x12 inch square.
Use a 4-inch round cookie cutter to cut out 9 circles of puff pastry per sheet. This will give you 18 tarts.
Beat the egg and the 1 tablespoon of water together in a small bowl to create an egg wash.
Add 1 heaping tablespoon of the turkey mixture to the center of each puff pastry round and press down so that the turkey mixture is 1 cm thick. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash on the edges of the puff pastry and pinch the sides together to seal.
Transfer the assembled tart to a parchment-lined baking sheet and continue the process for the rest of the tarts, making sure to space them at least 1 inch apart from each other.
Brush the edges of the tarts with the egg wash to create a golden finish then bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the warm tarts to a serving platter and garnish with some chopped parsley. Enjoy!
