Ingredients

• Puff pastry - 250 grams
• Ground chicken or turkey - 150 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Spinach - 100 grams, chopped
• Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Egg - 1, for egg wash

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the ground chicken or turkey to the skillet, along with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
6. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly, then fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
7. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thickness. Cut into squares (approximately 10cm x 10cm).
8. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each pastry square.
9. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
10. Beat the egg and brush the mixture over the tops of the pastries for a golden finish.
11. Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
12. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
