Elizabeth on 37th's Oyster and Sausage Turnover

This recipe appears in the Make it From Scratch carnival at Christ's Bridge.

This recipe is from Elizabeth on 37th in Savannah, Georgia. Delicious!


1 pound spicy bulk sausage
1 pint fresh oysters
1/2 cup raw milk cheddar cheese or mild cheddar, grated
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup Asiago cheese, grated
8-inch pie crust (favorite recipe)


Saute sausage and drain on a paper towel. Place oysters under the broiler for 1 minute to firm. Combine sausage, oysters and cheese and drain mixture in a sieve. Prepare piecrust dough. Divide dough into quarters and roll out each quarter into a circle. Place 2 or more rounded spoonfuls of sausage mixture on half of each circle, then fold other half over mixture to form a half-moon shape, sealing edges with a fork. Continue until sausage mixture is used up. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Serves 4

I'm emailing this to my son the oyster-lover who also loves to cook. If you have a chance, check out the post he did on oysters on my blog.

Let me know if he tries it out! Unfortunately fresh oysters are not something I can get around here and have to settle for the prepackaged kind.

I read his excellent article. Lucky guy to have all those fresh oysters so close to hand and so cheap!
