Roll the dough out between 2 pieces of parchment paper, to about ¼ in thick.

Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut 10 circles out of the dough and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Note: You may need to roll the dough scraps to get more circles.

Place a spoonful of meat on top of each circle.

Fold the dough over and enclose the meat by pinching the edges and forming the dough into a half circle. With a fork crimp the edges to ensure the meat is not going to leak out.
