This was really tasty. I wanted to try making a pasty after I saw a pasty restaurant in Northern Minnesota. It was good with turkey. Couple things- be sure to coat pan with non-stick spray before you cook. I had a hard time getting the pasties off the pan. Also, they burned at 15 minutes so next time I will cook them for 12-13 minutes. You can dip them with anything, but they don't need it- all the spices give it a nice flavor. Eat them hot!

These pasties were great! It was an interesting flavor with the mix of spices. We had trouble rolling out the biscuits--they kept wanting to shrivel up again. We made a 3-person assembling line to roll them out, fill them, and fold and seal them. But the effort was well worth it.

The bad news, Your prep time is off. I can't chop the vegetables and roll the dough in 15 minutes. The good news is I like the canned biscuit idea; it cuts way down on cooking. My recommendation is to let your imagination go wild. Think of it as a homemade Hotpocket
