Thanksgiving Leftovers Enchilada Pie Food

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS ENCHILADA PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cumin and cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Mix in the turkey and heat through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from heat.
• Using scissors, cut corn tortillas in quarters. Set aside on a plate. Combine shredded cheese and Velveeta cubes in a bowl.
• Pour enchilada sauce into a low-sided bowl. Briefly dip each tortilla piece into the sauce, being sure to cover it completely. Cover the bottom of the pie plate with several coated tortilla pieces. It's O.K. if you can see the bottom of the plate in some places, but try to nestle the tortillas right up to the edge of the pie plate to keep the layers separate and to ensure a clean cut.
• Layer half the turkey and onion mixture, half the leftovers or beans and a third of the cheese mixture. Add a second layer of tortillas, the remaining turkey, remaining leftovers and another third of the cheese. Top with a final layer of coated tortillas. Pour any remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Finish off in the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, if desired, for a browned and bubbly top. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving, using a serrated knife to cut. Serve with any of the optional toppings or leftover cranberry sauce salsa.

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out the pie crusts with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out rounds of dough with a 4 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Gather and reroll the scraps if necessary; you should have a total of 12 rounds.
• Spread 1 teaspoon sweet potato in an even layer over half of each round, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Top each with 2 teaspoons stuffing, then 2 teaspoons turkey, and finally 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce. (You may redistribute some of the filling among the rounds so all the piles are even.) Whisk together the egg and milk in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash around the edges of each dough round.
• Fold over each dough round to cover the filling, creating 12 half-moon shapes. With your fingers, press the edges together to seal, and then press with a fork to seal securely.
• Brush the top of each hand pie with the remaining egg wash. Make 3 small slits with a small paring knife on the top of each pie to let the steam escape. Bake until the dough is cooked through and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm with extra cranberry sauce and gravy on the side for dipping.
