Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey or chicken (shredded)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Add the shredded chicken or turkey, sautéed onion, and 1/4 cup of sliced almonds to the soup mixture. Stir until well combined.
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Arrange the triangles in the prepared casserole dish, with the pointed ends slightly overlapping in the center of the dish.
Spoon the chicken or turkey mixture evenly over the crescent roll base, leaving the edges of the dough visible.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken or turkey mixture. Then top with the remaining sliced almonds for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and flaky and the casserole is hot and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
