Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 7-8 Minutes
Servings: 8

INGREDIENTS

  • Ground Turkey (or other preferred filling)

  • 1 Buttery & Flakey Crescent Roll Tube

  • Shredded Cheese (we usually use Mexican)

  • Seasonings (we use salt, pepper, garlic powder and chili lime)

  • Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Unroll crescent rolls onto nonstick baking sheet.

  3. Sprinkle shredded cheese onto the widest part of each triangle.

  4. Warm a large pan with olive oil to coat it.

  5. Add the ground turkey or other meat option.

  6. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and shake other seasonings over the meat.

  7. Chop in pan with spatula, stirring frequently until fully cooked.

  8. Once the meat is fully cooked, transfer some meat onto the widest part of each triangle.

  9. Begin rolling the rolls (widest first). There should only be meat and cheese in the first roll. The remainder of the dough should wrap around alone.

  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are a light golden brown. If you’d like to test them, take a fork and poke the top middle of the lightest colored roll. If the fork comes out clean and does not stick, they are done.

    • 12 Minutes is usually the perfect time for us because they’re still a little gooey. If we really stuff a lot of meat into them or use refrigerated meat from the night before, then they are more on the 15 minute side. Keep an eye on them though! You’ll know they’re done but still a little gooey when the corners are golden brown and the center is still pretty light but a fork/toothpick doesn’t stick! When done, the bottoms will be totally golden.

    • We always use a nonstick baking sheet with no spray/greasing since the dough already has a lot of butter in it and they always come off the sheet easily. If your pan usually sticks to things you cook, then I would spray it with a little PAM or the like before laying them out. Wax paper will stick to the bottoms and tear upon removal.

TIP: If you’d like to make more than 8, just grab an extra tube of crescent rolls! You will have plenty of filling leftover that you can use in those!

TIP: If you are planning to make these with leftover ground turkey you have already cooked, you don’t need to heat up the meat! Just add it to the rolls as normal and it will heat through just fine.

DIP TIP: Michael loves pairing his with some Cholula hot sauce while I prefer dipping mine in Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey Hot!
