    Roll each half into 10-inch circle on lightly floured cloth-covered board. Place 1 1 cups meat filling on half of each circle. Foldpastry over filling and press edges to seal securely. Prick tops of turnovers several times. Carefully place turnovers on ungreased baking sheet. (To serve immediately, see below). Freeze uncovered until firm, about 2 hours. Remove turnovers from baking sheet. Wrap, label and return to freezer. (store no longer than 3months. Makes enough for 4 to 5 servings).

    35 minutes before serving, remove Chuckwagon Turnovers from freezer and unwrap; place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in 425° oven until brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Gravy or a tomato sauce is a nice addition.
