Turkey and Spinach Pie

3 oz butter, softened, but not melted
8 sheets, filo pastry
sesame seeds
grated parmesan
8 oz fresh spinach
salt and white pepper
1 tbl oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 lb minced cooked turkey
4 oz mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Trim spinach and wash it thoroughly. Put leaves in a large pan with no extra water and cook, covered, for 3-5 minutes, shaking pan occasionally, until leaves are soft. Drain Well. Brush a shallow 8-inch pie dish with soft butter and line with 6 sheets of pastry, brushing each sheet with soft butter. Ensure pastry edges overlap edges of dish. Heat oil in a pan and sauté sliced onion until starting to soften. Stir in garlic and cumin, and cook for 1 minute. Mix turkey with plenty of seasoning, then add mozzarella cheese and ground nutmeg. Place half the spinach in base of dish. Cover with half the onion mixture, then spread with meat. Add final layer of onions, then top with remaining spinach. Brush remaining sheets of filo pastry with butter. Cut into strips and arrange at random over top of pie. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and parmesan then bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
