Total: 48 minutes
Yield: Makes 18 pies

Ingredients

• 1  cup  finely chopped roasted turkey
• 3/4  cup  mashed potatoes
• 1/2  (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2  cup  cut green beans, cooked

Preparation

1. Stir together first 6 ingredients. Season with desired amount of salt and pepper.
2. Preheat oven to 400°. Unroll each piecrust. Lightly roll each into a 12-inch circle. Cut each piecrust into 6 circles using a 4-inch round cutter. Place about 3 Tbsp. turkey mixture just below center of each dough circle. Fold dough over filling, pressing and folding edges to seal.
3. Arrange pies on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with egg, and, if desired, sprinkle with poppy seeds.
4. Bake at 400° for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with warm gravy.

This recipe is from the Southern Living Magazine and I found it through my friend Mary Ann's blog.  Thank you Mary Ann!!!  These are delicious and easy to make.  I made mine bigger and it made 8.  I baked 3 for dinner and froze the rest for later!  I need to start making more things I can freeze and pull out for a fast lunch or dinner.  
I left out the parsley and poppy seeds, and I used chicken instead of turkey, and peas instead of green beans.
