Photo from Woman's Day Magazine

2 Tblsp olive oil

1 small onion finely chopped

1 small to medium potato cut into 1/4 inch dice

1/2 c frozen peas

1 to 2 carrots cut into very small dice, or shredded

1 1/2 c cooked chicken, turkey, beef or pork, shredded

2 refrigerated pie crusts

1 egg beaten

heat oven to 400

line baking sheet with parchment, or use baking stone

heat oil in skillet and cook onion until tender

add salt and pepper to taste

add potato and carrots and cook until tender

remove from heat and add peas and meat

unroll pie crust and cut each into 4 triangles

divide meat mixture onto each triangle towards one side

fold crust over mixture and use fork tines to press and seal

transfer to baking sheet

brush each with egg

bake about 20 minutes or until golden brown

These can be made ahead then flash frozen and kept in freezer for up to 2 months.  Place on parchment lined baking sheet and place in freezer until firm, then place in freezer bag for storage.  Bake frozen at 375 for 30 -45 minutes.  (this idea from Woman's Day magazine)

Until Next Time.....
