Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: One 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast (about 3/4 tablespoon); 1 tablespoon sugar; 1 cup lukewarm water (about 95 degrees F); 2 large eggs; 1/2 tablespoon salt; 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting; Vegetable oil for greasing bowl; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger; 1 medium onion, diced; 1 pound ground turkey; 1/4 cup toasted shelled pistachios; 1/4 cup golden raisins; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon chili powder; 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes; 1 teaspoon dried garlic; 1 teaspoon sea salt; 1 teaspoon caraway seeds; 1 teaspoon poppy seeds; 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds; 1 large egg; 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

For the challah: In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar and water. Whisk to dissolve, then add eggs and salt and whisk again. Place yeast mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. With mixer on medium speed, gradually add flour. When dough holds together, it is ready for kneading.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Place dough in a bowl lightly greased with vegetable oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
For the turkey filling: In a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. When shimmering, add ginger and onion and saute until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. To the skillet, add turkey, pistachios, raisins, cinnamon, and chili powder. Saute until turkey is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
For the everything spice: Place the onion flakes, dried garlic, salt, caraway seeds, poppy seeds and sesame seeds in a bowl; mix and set aside.
To assemble: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and roll into a rectangle approximately 1/8-inch thick. Cut into 3-inch squares. Spoon 2 tablespoons turkey filling on top of each square. Fold up the sides to form dumplings and crimp the tops. Place top-side down on a baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each pastilla. In a small bowl whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush pastillas with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the everything spice.
Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cool, then dust with powdered sugar and serve.
