1 1/2cupscooked chicken or turkeychopped
1cupfrozen 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!
