Southwestern Beef Empanadas PREP TIME: COOK TIME: Approximately 10 minutes TurboChef : 4-1/2 minutes Conventional : 25 minutes An empanada is a stuffed pastry. Originally from Galicia, Spain, empanadas were imported to Latin America with the large number of Galician immigrants, primarily to Argentina and Uruguay.

Snapper en Papillote PREP TIME: COOK TIME: Approximately 30 minutes TurboChef : 7 minutes Conventional : 35 minutes Like the puff pastry in Salmon en Croute (page 8), the paper wrapping (papillote) for the fish ensures its moist texture after it’s cooked.
