With your hands or a large glass, flatten each piece into a circle 3 inches in diameter. Place 1 TABLESPOON of filling in the center of each circle. With a finger dipped in water, dampen the edge of the circle. Fold the dough over the filling and press to seal. Brush a nonstick frying pan with 1/2 teaspoon oil.
