Forget the plain old reheating routine; we’re about to embark on a culinary adventure to transform those turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing remnants into delightful hand pies that will have your taste buds doing the happy dance.

Gather Your Leftovers:

The beauty of hand pies lies in their versatility. Raid your refrigerator for the remaining treasures from your Thanksgiving feast:

Turkey: Shred it into bite-sized pieces for that savory protein punch.
Mashed Potatoes: Creamy goodness that will add a comforting touch to your hand pies.
Stuffing: The unsung hero of Thanksgiving, ready to impart its herby, carb-filled charm.

Building the Perfect Hand Pie:

Roll Out the Dough: Flour your parchment paper, roll out the dough, and cut it into 6 pieces. Think of it as creating little pockets of happiness.
Layering Goodness: Place a couple pieces of turkey, followed by a spoonful of mashed potatoes, and a dollop of stuffing in the center of three of the pieces of crescent dough. Don’t be shy – pile it on!
Seal the Deal: Place the tops on each hand pie. Seal the edges with a fork, ensuring that no flavor escapes.

I used turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing for my hand pies. But let your imagination run wild.

If you want the tops of your hand pie a little crispier, you can brush the tops with an egg wash before baking.

Serve the hand pies hot!

Other Leftover Hand Pie Options

dip your hand pies in warmed gravy or some cranberry sauce
use pie dough instead of crescent roll dough
add some fresh flavor – thyme, parsley, garlic, and celery can be added to your pies before baking to add some new and different flavors to your leftovers

I hope these leftover turkey hand pies gave you a fresh idea on what to do with those leftovers!

Prep Time 10

Cook Time 12

Total Time 22

Serving Size 3 pies

Equipment

cookie sheet
parchment paper

Ingredients

1 can crescent roll
3-6 pieces leftover turkey
6 tbsp mashed potatoes
6 tbsp stuffing dressing leftovers

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 ℉.
Lightly flour a sheet of parchment paper. Open the can of crescent rolls and unroll them on your floured parchment paper. Use your fingers or a rolling pin to smooth and remove the seams, so you have one large piece of crescent dough.
Cut your dough into 6 even sized pieces, so you'll have 3 tops and 3 bottoms for your hand pies.
Place 1 or 2 slices of leftover turkey on 3 of the dough pieces. You want to leave space around the edges so you can seal the hand pie later.
Add 2 tbsp of mashed potatoes on top of the turkey. Add 2 tbsp of stuffing (dressing) on top of the mashed potatoes.
Add the top dough and with a fork crimp the edges to seal around the hand pie.
Bake in a 375-degree oven for 10-12 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
Let the pies sit 5 minutes and then serve warm.
