Ingredients




1 tbs olive oil
1 onion, chopped
400g ground turkey meat
200g mixed vegetables of your choice, frozen
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup tomato paste
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
275g puff pastry (1 packet), fresh or frozen
1 yolk
1 tbs milk
Pinch of sea salt
2 tbs sesame seeds (for sprinkling)

Preparation

1 Sauté the onion in olive oil until tender. 2 Add ground turkey, sauté for a few minutes, using a wooden spoon to break the lumps. 3 Add frozen vegetables, stir, season with salt and pepper; continue to simmer for 5-6 minutes. 4 Add tomato paste, stir and continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender. Stir in grated cheese and cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Set aside to cool. 5 Visually divide the puff pastry, lengthwise, into 3 equal parts. Place the prepared meat and vegetable filling in the middle part of the dough. Cut the remaining 2 parts of the dough at an angle into strips 2 cm apart. Fold the end sides of the dough, and then fold the sides as if braiding (one strip across another). 6 Combine yolk, milk and salt and brush the braid on all sides. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. 7 Bake the braid in a pan lined with parchment paper in the oven at 180°C ( 170°C fan) for 25-30 minutes or until golden in colour. 8 Cool slightly, and serve with a salad of your choice.
