A '''lihapiirakka''' (in [[Finnish language|Finnish]] ''lihapiirakka'' literally "[[meat pie]]") is an everyday [[Finland|Finnish]] dishfood sold in supermarkets and often available ready-to-eat from fast food trailers/cabins sellingas fast[[street food]]. It is a form of savoury pie or [[turnover (food)|turnover]] made from [[doughnut]] dough and filled with a mixture of minced meat and cooked rice and cooked by deep frying. It does not resemble a traditional English or American meat pie or turnover due to the use of doughnut mix and the fact that it is deep fried. They are usually bought ready cooked and are simply reheated in a microwave oven.
A larger and thicker form is also known as a '''möttönen'''. Two Karelian variants are '''atomi''' and '''vety''' ("atom" and "hydrogen"), where ''atomi'' contains either [[ham]] or [[egg (food)|egg]], and ''vety'' includes both.
