Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tins refrigerated biscuits (low calorie ready-made dough also works well)

1 pound extra-lean ground beef, chicken, or turkey

3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill

2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

3 Tbsp finely sliced onion

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Empty out the biscuits. Lightly flour a cutting board or your work surface and separate the biscuits. Roll the biscuits flat to make the meat filling, start by heating the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it is soft and clear in color. Add the meat, crumbling and flattening it with your fingers. Lightly brown the meat (7-10 minutes). Remove from heat. Drain the meat and return to skillet for another five minutes. Remove from heat and put in a large bowl.

For a lower calorie version, use ready-made shredded lean chicken or turkey.

Mix in hard-boiled eggs, chopped fresh dill, parsley, and salt and pepper.

Spoon the mixture into a flattened biscuits. Fold the biscuit in half and make a half moon shape, seal the dough by pinching it together. Do this with all the biscuits brush some egg on the biscuit and bake in the oven 15-20 minutes on 375 until they are golden brown.
