CURRIED TURKEY TURNOVERS
I got this YEARS ago from a magazine running a 5 meals in 5 hours article. I LOVE this dish. I think it was the first time I'd ever had curry and I've been hooked ever since.

AMERICAN TURKEY TURNOVERS
This is a recipe that is frozen for future use, one of many I made in preperation for the birth of my daughter. I got it from "More Make Your Own Groceries". This would probably be a good use for leftover Thanksgiving turkey While the original instructions say these should take 50 to 60 minutes to cook, I have made this in two different ovens and they took 10 to 15 minutes to cook in those. I used a slightly different method to create the circles for the pastry than recommended in the original recipe, and have included both for you to choose from.

Steps:
- Saute onion and celery in butter.
- Stir in remaining ingredients for filling.
- Sift together flour, curry powder (if using), and salt.
- Using either a butter knife, or a pastry blender cut in shortening until the mixture looks like a coarse meal.
- Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of the ice water, reserving the rest.
- Toss with a fork to mix.
- Quickly press the dough into a ball and set aside.
- If there is any flour left in the bowl, use reserved water to dampen and then press into the rest of the dough.
- There are two ways to do this next step, the second being the one I came up with myself.
- Choose the one that seems better to you.
- On a floured surface roll dough 1/8 in thick, and then cut into twelve 6 inch rounds.
- Or make twelve balls of dough and roll into 6 inch rounds.
- Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of the filling onto half of each of the rounds.
- Brush the margin of each round with a little warm water.
- Fold the empty half over.
- Use a fork to seal the edges, and then prick the top here and there.
- Use a spatula to carefully transfer the finished turnovers to a cookie sheet.
- Cover loosely with wax paper and freeze overnight.
- Package the turnovers in foil or freezer bags and label as necessary.
- When ready to cook preheat over to 425.
- Place desired number of turnovers on a cookie sheet and cook for as little as 15 minutes (in my experience) or as much as 60 minutes (according to original instructions).
- The edges should be golden when finished.
