Ingredients

• 500g lean turkey mince
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 1 parsnip, finely chopped

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
2. Combine mince, carrot, parsnip, barbecue sauce and bread crumbs in a large bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. The mix should form a pattie consistency.
3. Cut 4 x 12cm rounds from each sheet of pastry.
4. Spoon turkey mix into the centre of the pastry rounds and brush edges with egg.
5. Fold edges to make a pastie shape and press firmly to ensure a good seal.

7. Place in oven for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown.
