It's apple picking season. Every fall we head to the apple farm and pick a bushel full of apples. Which is awesome...except...what the heck am I supposed to do with all of those apples?!
We all have a favourite apple recipe, right? A standby recipe that we make every single fall. Well, this year I decided to switch things up and make a recipe that takes advantage of another fall favourite - leftover roast turkey.
Speaking of switching things up, how do you love my JORD Wood Watch? Yes, it's made of wood. I haven't worn a wrist watch in years. I used to love wearing a watch so when the folks at Jord reached out with this beautiful line of unique watches I couldn't resist. I selected the zebra wood and navy model, as I thought it would fit perfectly with my outdoorsy fall wardrobe. Watch back, firmly on my wrist. Now, back to this amazingly simple leftover turkey hand pie recipe.
What is everyone's favourite part of Thanksgiving dinner at our house? The stuffing of course (or dressing, depending on how you prepare it). This recipe combines all those familiar turkey stuffing flavours in a handy hand pie.
These are perfect for the kids' lunch box or serve them with a salad and you have a quick dinner. They take 30 minutes to make and taste amazing.
