Peel onion and potatoes, carrot and turnip; slice thinly, and blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes with thinly sliced celery. Drain and season with salt & pepper. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness; cut into 3 large squares. Put a layer of vegetables on half of each square and top it with meat mixture.
