  • tsp roasted cranberry sauce 
  •  eggs beaten

Equipment

Directions

  1. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface so that its just thinner than a 1 coin.
  2. Cut out 8 x 10cm circles using a pastry cutter or small saucer, then cut 8 x 9cm circles for the lids you may need to re-roll the trimmings. Push the larger circles into 8 holes of a muffin tin, then divide the turkey, cream and cranberry sauce between them. Season well and brush the edges with a little egg.
  3. Place a lid on top of each and pinch the sides together to seal. Chill for 15-20 mins.
