Syrian Sfeeha (Meat Pies) image

These little meat pies really easy to make, and my kids have loved them since they were toddlers, which to me makes a successful dish! They are traditionally made with lamb, but I have always used ground turkey for a lower fat, affordable substitute.

Steps:

  • Place biscuits on baking sheets. Flatten slightly, and press a well into each. They'll look like little dough bowls. Set aside.
