Savory Sausage, Onion and Spinach Turnovers

As my husband said when he first bit into these little yummy meat pies...This isn't terrible! In fact it's really not terrible. Please keep this recipe. I'm not being nice, I mean this is really good...

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2/3 cup chopped red potatoes
1/3 cup sliced red peppers
1/3 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 ground Italian turkey sausage or 2 links, casings removed, sliced into small disks
3 cups rinsed and chopped spinach
2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 package refrigerator pie dough
2 tablespoons water
1 egg white, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Set aside deliciousness...

1. Roll out 1 sheet of pie dough (most boxes come with 2 sheets)
2. Cut dough disk in half.
3. Spoon filling onto half of the pie halves
4. Brush the edges with egg whites and fold dough over matching the edges as best as possible.
