Simply Grateful (leftovers recipe for you!)



I’m Ingrid Hoffmann, host of the TV cooking show Simply Delicioso. I am passionate about fighting diabetes.

Andrea, as someone who has been personally impacted by diabetes I want to thank you for your generous support. You make everything the American Diabetes Association^® does possible—your generosity supports the search for a cure and development of new treatments, outreach and education, advocacy, summer camps, and so much more.
I hope my recipe for pumpkin sage turkey empanadas will help you and your family enjoy the many Thanksgiving leftovers that are coming our way. Empanadas are a common food in many Latin American countries—the idea is simple—you wrap a savory filling of meat, vegetables, or cheese in dough, then bake or fry until golden brown. Baked instead of fried, these little packages are filled with the wonderful flavors of the season and packed with protein and vitamins, making them delicious and a healthy choice.
Thank you again for working with me and the American Diabetes Association to fight this dangerous disease. Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving—THANK YOU for all you do.
