I found this recipe in a family circle magazine and I was dying for something with curry spice in it. These are easy to make, very good, but they tend to be a little dry so I would suggest to either add 1-2 cups of shredded sharp cheese to the meat mixture or serve these with a little brown gravy. I like the packs of dry mix gravy you can buy at the stores, easy and fast to make.
Jamaican Beef Patties
2 tsp veggie oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tsp curry powder
1 lb lean ground beef (I used ground turkey)
½ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp ground allspice
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
½ cup low sodium beef broth
½ cup dry bread crumbs
2 pckgs (8oz each) crescent dough sheets
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Heat oven to 400. Cook ground beef in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and brown meat and onion together. Drain. Continue to cook adding curry, thyme, allspice, salt and pepper. Add broth and bread crumbs, cook 2 minutes and remove from heat.
Unroll crescent dough. Cut each piece crosswise into 3 (8x4inch) pieces, for a total of 6. Roll each piece out slightly. (I think its easiest to assemble on baking sheet). Place ½ cup of filling on one half of one piece. Fold dough over to enclose filling. Press edges to seal, using a fork. Transer to a large baking sheet and brush with a little of the egg. Repeat with all the pieces of dough.
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until golden. Serve warm. Optional: serve brown gravy on top. EnJOY!
