Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400. Cook Golden Brown Turkey Sausages in a large skillet according to package directions. Remove from pan, allow to cool and chop.
-
In the same skillet, add peppers and onions, and sauté for 2-3 minutes over medium heat until translucent. Add black beans and chopped sausage; cook for additional 2-3 minutes. Push mixture to she side, turn heat to low and add eggs and cheese. Cover the pan and let cook through for 5 minutes; mix all ingredients together and remove from heat.
-
Once mixture is cool to the touch, spoon 2 tablespoons of filling into the middle of each empanada wrapper, and fold over to close. Press the edges down with a fork or roll over to seal. Brush the tops with the reserved beaten egg and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
-
While the empanadas are in the oven, blend the sauce. Add yogurt, cilantro, garlic, salt, and olive oil to a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth. Serve with warm empanadas and enjoy!
