Preheat oven to 425 degrees, 400 if using convection.
Heat the stuffing in microwave for about 2 minutes until hot. Heat gravy. Place about 1/2 cup stuffing onto each pastry. If you imagine cutting the circle of the pastry in half, spread the filling toward the outside half of one side of the dough. Layer the stuffing, chopped turkey, and drizzle with a little gravy (about 2 tablespoons per pastry). Add a little grated cheese, if desired. Repeat until all of the pastries are filled. Crimp edges and transfer to ungreased baking sheets. Place three pastries on each baking sheet. Beat egg and brush tops of pastry with egg.
Bake for about 15 minutes, turning pan once to insure even browning. Remove and serve with gravy and cranberry sauce.
