Ingredients:

Serving

7.5 oz (1 1/2 cups) yellow arepa flour (such as p.a.n. or masarepa)
1 tsp salt, divided
2 cups hot water
2 tbsp canola oil, divided
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
2 tsp minced seeded jalapeno pepper
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups chopped leftover cooked turkey breast
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup (3 oz) shredded reduced-fat sharp white cheddar cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°.
Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir well. Add 2 cups hot water; stir until well combined and smooth. Let stand 10 minutes. Divide dough into 12 equal portions, shaping each into a ball. (Dough should be moist.) Working with 1 portion at a time, roll each portion into a 3-inch circle (about 1/2 inch thick).
Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 arepas to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned and crisp. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat procedure with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and remaining arepas. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until arepas sound hollow when lightly tapped.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add jalapeño, cumin seeds, and garlic; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, turkey, cilantro, and black pepper; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in cheese.
Remove arepas from oven; let stand 2 minutes. Cut a 3-inch pocket in the side of each arepa; spoon turkey mixture into arepas.
