Ingredients

  • 1 box refrigerated pie crusts softened as directed on package
  • 4 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves pressed
  • 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cup half and half
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken or turkey chopped
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Unroll the pie crusts. On lightly floured surface, roll or press each crust to 13-inch diameter. Cut 9 (5 inch) rounds total from the crust. Gently press rounds floured-side-down in bottoms and up sides of 9 muffin cups you've sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Set them aside.
  • In medium to large nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Saute the onion and pressed garlic in the melted butter for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft. Stir in flour. Add the half and half, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens. Stir in the chopped chicken or turkey and frozen mixed veggies. Remove from heat.
  • Fill each muffin cup with about 1/4 cup of the mixture. Fold and crimp pie crust over filling, leaving the centers of the pies open. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl. Brush the exposed areas of the crust with melted butter.
  • Bake at 375 until the filling is bubbly and the crusts are golden, between 20 and 25 minutes. Enjoy!
