1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Cut in the shortening until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in the water until a ball of dough forms. Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape each into a ball. Cover and set aside.
2

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the carrot, turnip, potatoes, and mushrooms. Add the water, bouillon cube, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Cook for 15 minutes.
3

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4

Roll each pastry ball into a 6- to 8-inch circle. Place about 1 cup of filling on one half of each circle. Fold the pastry over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Place on a baking sheet and brush with egg.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
