Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 package of pre-made pie crusts
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened.
  • Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Stir in the cranberries, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the cranberries soften slightly.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  • Roll out the pie crust and use a round cutter to cut out circles, about 4 inches in diameter.
  • Place the dough circles into a greased muffin tin, gently pressing down to form shells.
  • Fill each pie shell with the turkey and cranberry mixture, ensuring not to overfill.
  • Brush the edges of the crust with the beaten egg to promote browning.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
