Savory Sausage Turnovers, Cooking Light April 2011
These looked really good, with yummy ingredients in the filling like bell pepper, sausage, basil, spinach, and potato. And, it was a quick recipe-- my cutoff for "quick" tagged recipes is 40 minutes, and this promised to take 39. This is made possible by using refrigerated pie dough-- the filling is quickly sautéed, and the other half of the time is hands-off baking time.
I'd never bought pie dough before, except maybe the kind that comes already in the pie pan. So I wasn't really sure what kind to buy, and I just grabbed one. Since it was straight from the fridge, it cracked all over when I tried to form it. I ended up not being able to roll it out well, so I just used a lot of it, still thick. Still, I was excited to see these come out of the oven all crumbly and toasty brown.
But as it turns out, pre-made pie crust doesn't always taste so great. In fact, this was just straight up awful! I ended up just cutting it open and eating out the filling from the inside, trying to remove as many crumbs from it as possible :-/
Definitely these are worth making again, as the filling is quite good! It would be good in other things too, like maybe an omelet or as a calzone filling. Or just with homemade pie crust :)
I froze the rest of these to take down to G in NY when I visited him. He said he liked them and didn't mention the crust. Too polite?
