Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
-
Prepare Baking Sheets: Coat 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
-
Cook Onion and Celery: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and celery, and cook for about 5 minutes until they become softened.
-
Add Flour: Sprinkle all-purpose flour into the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
-
Blend with Broth: Gradually stir in the chicken broth until the mixture becomes well blended and smooth.
-
Seasoning Mixture: Stir in curry powder, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and seedless raisins. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 1 minute until it thickens.
-
Add Chicken and Vegetables: Mix in the diced cooked chicken breast, frozen peas, and diced baby carrots. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until heated through. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the filling to cool to room temperature.
-
Prepare Dough: Divide your dough into 8 equal pieces. On a well-floured board, roll out one piece into an 8-inch circle.
-
Fill and Seal: Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the prepared filling into the center of the dough circle. Moisten the edge of the dough with a small amount of water using a pastry brush. Fold half of the dough over the filling, forming a half-moon shape. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges to seal the turnovers.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the prepared turnovers onto the prepared baking sheets.
-
Bake: Bake the turnovers in batches of 4 at a time for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the turnovers to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors in these Chicken Pot Pie Turnovers, perfect for any meal or snacktime indulgence!
