***Recipe of the Day: Samosas Done My Way***

Ingredients:
1/4lb. of extra lean ground turkey (I like Jennie O)
1/2 medium Onion, chopped
2 tb. of grated Garlic
1/2 c. of chopped, frozen Spinach
1 c. of frozen Mixed Vegetables
1/2 bunch of Cilantro, chopped
1 tsp. of Canoloa Oil
1 tsp. of Salt
1 tbs. of flour and water, mixed to form a paste
Fajita style Flour Tortilla's cut in half
Seasonings:
1/2 Tb. of Salt
1 tb. of Pepper
2 tb. of Cumin Seeds
2 tb. of Garam Masala
2 tsp. of Turmeric
1 tsp. of Chili powder
1 tb. of Coriander powder
1. In a sautee pan, cook the ground Turkey in salted water. About one cup of water, just to cover the ground Turkey should do the trick.
2. Once the Turkey is cooked, remove from sautee pan, and into a bowl.
3. Add the Canola Oil to the sautee pan.
4. Add the Onions, Garlic and Salt to the pan, cook until the onions have become translucent.
5. Add the Spinach, Mixed Vegetables, Cilantro, and ground Turkey.
6. Add the seasoning and sautee for 5 minutes on medium heat, if you find the mixture becoming too dry, add some water for the spices to incorporate more easily, however, make sure this has fully evaporated when done.
7. Let the mixture completely cool before moving on.
8. Once the mixture has cooled, take half of your flour Tortilla, and fold this in half to form a cone.
9. Seal the edge with the flour paste.
10. Spoon a generous amount of your ground Turkey mixture into the now formed cone.
11. Fold over the remaining edges of the Tortilla to close the cone and seal with the flour paste, set aside and repeat with another half of Tortilla.
12. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees
13. Bake the samosa's for 30 minutes, or until browned.
Guys, I was able to make 12 samosa's out this batch.
Now for the important part...each samosa has only 2 WW pts!!! Also, if you'd like to make these totally vegetarian, omit the ground Turkey and Tofu or more veggies...the points would also reduce to 1 WW pt.!!!! How hot is that? :-P
Enjoy!

  4. Hey Guys,

    I have to say, these are great. Also, if you want a more brownish finish, to make them look fried...brush and egg yolk and milk mixture on them before putting them in the oven.

    Also, please do let me know if you need more pictures in regards to the instructions!!

    Thanks guys!
