Instructions
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 400°F.
Pour the oil into a medium saucepan and heat on medium high until shimmering.
Add the onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 8 minutes.
Add the swiss chard, and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
Mix in the grated sweet potatoes, Gruyère, fresh thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pinch of black pepper.
Let cool for a few minutes.
Cut the pie crusts in half, so you have four half circles. Spoon about 1/2-cup of the sweet potato mixture on one side of each half circle, leaving 1/2-inch border. Fold the dough over and crimp the sides. Using a knife, slice three openings on the top of the turnover. Repeat with the other three half circles.
Crack the egg into a bowl, and whip with a fork.
Brush the top of each turnover with egg. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the turnovers on top.
Bake in the oven until the turnovers are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes
