Curried Chicken Turnovers

This is one I think you will love, A.D.!!
(makes 8)

Pastry for double-crust pie (9"):
2&1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 t. fine* sea* salt
1 cup cold butter, cut into pats*
1/3-2/3 cup ice water

Filling:
1 cup finely chopped rotisserie* chicken
1 med. Granny Smith* apple, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup light* mayo.
1/4 cup chopped cashews
1 green onion, finely chopped
1-2 t. curry powder (depending on your taste*)
1/4 t. Kosher* salt
1/4 t. freshly ground* pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten.

Combine the flour and sea salt in a med. bowl; cut in the pats of butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour. Preheat oven to 425. In a another med. bowl, combine first 8 filling ingredients. Divide the pastry dough into eight portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough portion into a 5" circle. Place about 1/4 cup of the filling on one side of the circle. Moisten edges of pastry with water. Fold dough over filling; press edges with a fork to seal. Place on greased baking sheets. Brush with egg. Cut 1/2" slits in top of each. Bake 15-20 mins. or until golden brown.

Editor's note: if you are pressed for time when making this, you can use crescent rolls. Just unroll from package, separate at perforations, and use the technique above to roll into circles.
