Process turkey in a food processor until chopped. Add 1/2 cup butter and next 3 ingredients; process until almost smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. Transfer turkey spread to a medium bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup parsley, 3 tablespoons chives, and salt.
Trim crusts from bread, using a serrated or an electric knife.
Spread about 1/4 cup turkey spread on 8 bread slices. Top with remaining 8 bread slices; pressing lightly to adhere. Cut each sandwich into 4 fingers, using a serrated knife or an electric knife.
To garnish, tie a whole chive around each finger sandwich, and knot; or spread cut sides of sandwiches with 1/4 cup softened butter, and dip lightly into 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Arrange on a serving platter.
Note: You can make sandwiches up to 1 day ahead. Just lay a damp paper towel over sandwiches before covering with plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator.

Whisk together half-and-half and 1 egg in a bowl; add to dry ingredients, stirring with a fork just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 3 or 4 times.
Divide dough in half; shape each into a ball. Pat each into a 5 1/2" circle on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cut each circle into 6 wedges, using a sharp knife (do not separate wedges).
Whisk together remaining egg with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl; brush egg wash over dough. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar evenly over dough.
