Preparation Prepare Empanada Dough: In large bowl, work flour and lard together until the mixture has the consistency of oats. Add egg and water by tablespoons to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth. Let dough rest for 30 minutes before using. In large sauté pan, sauté onion and bell pepper in olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add ground turkey to pan; cook about 8 minutes, breaking up chunks, until turkey is no longer pink.
Stir in Knorr Ready to Use Mole Sauce and cilantro; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Roll out dough and cut into 15 rounds of 7 inches in diameter (or prepare empanada discs). Place about 1/2 cup of filling on each round of dough. We edges with water, fold over, and press with fingers to seal. Using fork, finish sealing. Fry empanadas in oil until golden brown. Remove from oil and place in paper towels to drain. Keep warm or serve immediately, accompanied by 4 oz Knorr Ready to Use Salsa Verde Sauce.
