Then take your discs and put 1 spoonful of the poultry mixture on each disc. Fold disc in half over the mixture and with a fork seal the rounded ends. They should be in the shape of a half moon. Place each Empanadas in the heated oil and fry each side for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot. Makes 10 servings.
