Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces ground sausage
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup bell pepper (finely diced)
- 0.25 cup onion (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, diced bell pepper, diced onion, Cajun seasoning, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles as marked. Place a heaping tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto the wide part of each triangle.
Carefully roll each triangle, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the tip. Place the rolled crescents seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the turnovers with melted butter to promote browning and a flaky texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent turnovers are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, for a pop of color.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Cajun Crescent Turnovers!
