  • For the empanada dough: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, oil, and water. Knead to a soft dough.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough until it is 1-inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut dough into circles.
  • Place romeritos, bacalao, and turkey on top of the dough circles. Seal the empanadas by pressing the edges with your fingers.
  • Heat oil in a small pot. Fry empanadas over medium heat for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Place leftover Christmas dinner empanadas on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
