Savory Hand Pies

This came from the Southern Living magazine – Nov 2010

Difficulty:

Ingredients

1 C finely chopped roasted turkey
3/4 C mashed potatoes
1/2 pkg (8oz) cream cheese – softened
1/2 C cut green beans – cooked
1 carrot – grated
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley (I’m going to use dried)
Salt & Pepper – to taste
1 1/2 (14.1 oz) pkgs of refrigerated pie dough – going to make my own!
1 lg egg – beaten
poppy seeds – optional – think sesame seeds would be good too!
Turkey Gravy – warmed

Directions

Stir together first 6 ingredients, then season with S&P.

Preheat oven to 400. Unroll each pie crust & gently roll out to 12″ circles. Cut each crust into 6 circles using a 4″ round cutter. Place approx 3 Tbsp of turkey mixture just below center of each dough circle. Fold dough over filling, pressing & folding edges to seal.

Arrange pies on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with egg & spinkle with seeds if desired. Bake at 400 for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with warm gravy.

Note: Unbaked pies can be frozen up to 1 month. Bake frozen pies 30-32 minutes or until golden brown
