Ingredients:

• 1 pound Ground Beef (90% lean or leaner)
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup shredded Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1/2 cup shredded onion
• 1/2 cup shredded turnip
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 cup beef gravy

Cooking:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine Ground Beef, carrots, potatoes, onion, turnip, tomato paste, salt and pepper in a large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. 
2. Unfold puff pastry onto lightly floured cutting board; roll into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Cut each sheet into four circles (about 6-inches) in diameter.
3. Add 1/2 cup filling evenly into the middle of pastry circles. Moisten edge of dough with egg; fold pastry over filling. Press edges of pastry with fingers or crimp with a fork to seal. Cut three slits in top of each pastry to vent: brush with remaining egg.   
4. Place pasties on parchment-lined shallow rimmed baking sheet. Bake in 425°F oven 20 to 25 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted into centers registers 160°F and crust is golden brown. 
5. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with gravy.
