Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces crescent roll dough (refrigerated)
- 1 cup cooked turkey (shredded or chopped)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated edges.
Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the turkey mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
Roll up each crescent from the wide end to the narrow tip, enclosing the filling, and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top of each crescent with the beaten egg to give them a golden sheen during baking.
Optionally, sprinkle the tops with dried parsley for a touch of color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and fully cooked.
Allow the crescents to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
