How to Make Tourtiere Turnovers

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground meat, onion, garlic, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream.
  4. Add the egg mixture to the meat mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to 1/8 inch thickness.
  6. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter or knife, cut out circles from the dough.
  7. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the meat filling into the center of each circle.
  8. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges to seal.
  9. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
  11. Serve warm with chili sauce or your favorite gravy.
