Stir in the pumpkin puree, tomato paste, brown sugar and Greek yogurt until well combined. Transfer to a medium bowl and refrigerate to cool slightly while you prepare the dough.
• Meanwhile, roll out 1 pie crust into a 12-inch round with a rolling pin. Use a 4-inch pumpkin-shaped cutter to cut out 8 pumpkins, rerolling the scraps as needed. Divide the pumpkins between the prepared baking sheets (these are the bottom crusts). Repeat with the remaining sheet of pie dough, but do not transfer the cutouts to the baking sheets (these are the top crusts); set aside.
• Scoop 2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture into the center of each bottom crust leaving a generous border around the edges.
• Use your finger to dab the edges of the dough with water and top each with a top crust to completely cover the filling. Press down gently around the edges with your fingers to seal. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie seasoning and a pinch of salt. Cut three vertical slits in the top of each hand pie to resemble the ribs on a pumpkin.
• Bake until the crusts are golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving, about 5 minutes.
