Turkey Picnic Pies

Turkey Picnic Pies
This recipe is great for using leftover Turkey or Chicken to make absolutely yummy, tastebud wowing pies.  Because I usually do these pies in a muffin tin, they are great for single servings to each person, and also for taking to work (or on a picnic!) and eating cold!  The recipe can also be made in a normal pie dish (about 9 inch) the filling amounts don't change!  Easy as!

This evening I made the pie and we had roast potatoes, roasted sweet potato/kumara and brocolli and a bit of gravy!  Yummo!
It is also absolutely really yummy on a summer day with a fresh green salad!

1/2 a chopped onion
2/3 cup frozen peas and carrots

Can't wait until tomorrow to make these. What are your thoughts on freezing them? I'm thinking after-school snacks. Freezer to microwave ...

They came out great ! I tripled the recipe and ended up with 2 dozen muffin sized pies and enough filling to make a 9" pie also.

Those look so good. I love anything encased in dough and cooked in a muffin tin.
