Baked turkey and spinach samosas
Crispy filo pastry parcels are filled with seasoned turkey mince, tender Puy lentils, baby spinach, and aromatic garam masala and ginger. Baking them creates a wonderfully golden and crunchy crust while keeping the filling juicy. Serve hot alongside your favourite dipping sauce or chutney for a flavourful snack or starter.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/Gas 7. Line 2 baking trays with silicone mats or baking paper.

Cut the filo sheets in half, to give 2 long rectangles (14 strips in total). Keep the filo you aren’t working with covered with a lightly dampened clean tea towel.

Lay a filo rectangle on your work surface with a short edge facing you and spray it well with oil. Put 3 tablespoons of the filling at the bottom left-hand corner and shape it into a rough triangle. Fold over the right half of the filo sheet, then fold the bottom left corner over the filling to make a triangle. Keep folding over and upwards, forming triangles, until you reach the top. Seal with a little oil spray and transfer to the lined baking tray. Repeat with the remaining filling and pastry.

Spray the samosas liberally on both sides with oil, then bake for 10-15 minutes or until evenly golden brown.
