Ingredients
  

  • 400 g ground turkey
  • ½ cup yellow onion finely grated
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup dried apricots cut into 1-cm cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground all spice
  • 2 sheets puff pastry
  • ½ cup flour for rolling out puff pastry sheets
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • 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!
