Are meat pies actually healthy?

[Alfredo]

I'm trying to keep my meals healthy and was wondering how meat pies stack up nutritionally. Do you think meat pies can be part of a healthy diet? Maybe someone has some lighter, healthier versions to share? Looking forward to your ideas!

Regular meat pies can be a bit on the heavy side. They often have a lot of pastry and fat. But that doesn't mean you have to give them up entirely! You can focus on fillings with lots of veggies. Think chopped peppers, peas, carrots, or even lentils or beans for added protein and fiber. Lean meats like ground turkey or chicken breast are good choices too.
