Leftovers Make Delicious Hand Pies
Have a bunch of food leftovers from your last event? Well I am here to share that Leftovers Make Delicious Hand Pies. Check out my yummy recipes below.
After the holidays we are all left with a refrigerator full of tupperware filled bits and pieces of meals that are hard to make anything decent to eat. I am hear to tell you that leftovers make delicious hand pies! Check out this super tasty meal that went together in no time and tasted great.These are the ingredients I used to for this Turkey Day special leftover hand pie.
- 1 box of refrigerator pie dough (2 rolls)
- sliced Havarti Horseradish cheese
- leftover mashed potatoes
- leftover smoked turkey breast
- leftover cranberry relish
First step is to roll out your pie dough and cut into individual pie shapes. You can use a round cookie cutter or simply quarter the dough into wedges just like cutting a pie. Next, layer your cheese on each slice and spread a thin layer of mashed potatoes.
Then add a spoon full of your cranberry relish to the top of your potatoes, and top with chunks of your smoked turkey.
Then take your second piece of pie dough and repeat the same cutting pattern to create the tops. I actually rolled mine out to stretch the dough a bit once I made my cuts. This gave me some excess dough which I used to create the cute star shapes. To adhere the top you will pressure the dough together and I used an old fashion forking method to crimp the edges. This is how my mama made hand pies.
Make sure to cut some steam slits in the top of the pies, for the moisture to escape. Then bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes to warm all ingredients, melt your cheese and brown the crust.
Just add a side of sweet potato fries, side salad, steamed veggies or a cup of my famous Butternut Squash Soup and you have a complete meal.
