Start Cooking
Prepare the Balls
-
Heat oil in a frying pan and sauté the turkey strips for 3–5 minutes, just until crispy. Remove from pan and dice finely.
-
Add onion to frying pan, with more oil if necessary, and sauté until golden. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more. Remove from heat.
-
In a medium pot, cook the potatoes, leek, and celery root until soft. Drain and mash until smooth.
-
Combine the diced turkey with the sautéed onion and mashed potato mixture. Add the scallion and mix well.
-
Roll out the puff pastry dough. Using a 2½-inch (6-cm) cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles of dough.
-
Place a spoonful of the turkey-potato mixture on each circle. Carefully close up each circle to form a ball and place on a lined baking sheet.
-
Brush with egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden.
