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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated edges.

Step 4

Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the turkey mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Brush the top of each crescent with the beaten egg to give them a golden sheen during baking.

Step 7

Optionally, sprinkle the tops with dried parsley for a touch of color.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 9

Allow the crescents to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
