Hey, comeon...you know you'll have leftovers, think proactively. Do you really want Turkey Tetrazzini once again? Here's something else to consider.....

1/2 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup cut green beans, cooked
some leftover carrot,opt.
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 (14.1-oz.) packages refrigerated piecrusts
1 large egg, beaten
Turkey gravy, warmed

Preparation:
1. Stir together first 6 ingredients. Season with desired amount of salt and pepper.

2. Preheat oven to 400°. Unroll each piecrust. Lightly roll each into a 12-inch circle. Cut each piecrust into 6 circles using a 4-inch round cutter. Place about 3 Tbsp. turkey mixture just below center of each dough circle. Fold dough over filling, pressing and folding edges to seal.

3. Arrange pies on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with egg.
