TURKEY AND BISCUIT TURNOVERS
From Evelyn Tribole's Healthy Homestyle Cooking. My whole family gave this high marks. I couldn't find whole grain biscuit dough, so I just used 9 oz of lowfat biscuit dough instead. I also used ff cream of chicken soup instead of the mushroom. The cookbook gives the stats as: 366 calories, 9 g fat per serving

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, condensed soup, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Add the turkey and onions and mix well.
- Separate the refrigerated dough into eight biscuits; roll two biscuits together to make a ball (so you have four balls total).
- Use a rolling pin and roll each ball into a 6-inch circle (I rolled between sheets of parchment to prevent sticking -- worked like a charm).
- Spoon about 3/4 cup of turkey mixture onto half of each circle and fold it over to make a turnover.
- Seal the edges with the tines of a fork.
- Brush the tops with egg white and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
- Transfer turnover to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
