    Turkey And Cheese Crescent Rolls Ingredients

    • Crescent rolls - You can find these in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Any brand will do.
    • Shredded cheddar cheese - Will be used inside the crescent roll and as a cheesy topping. Feel free to use any variety of shredded cheese you have on hand.
    • Turkey - Sliced turkey deli meat like you would find in a deli or a container of lunch meat.

    How to Make Turkey and Cheese Crescent Roll Recipe

    1. Preheat, unroll, and seperate

    Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll the crescent roll dough from the tube and separate the crescent dough sheets into eight triangles.

    2. Add turkey and cheese

    On the wider end of each dough triangle, place one folded-up slice of turkey. Top with one tablespoon of shredded cheese.

    3. Roll up

    Roll up the stuffed crescent by the wider end, careful that none of the fillings spills out. Seal the seams so the cheese doesn't come out when baking.

    4. Bake

    Place a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. When there is one minute of cook time left, you can remove the tray from the oven and add a little cheese to the top before returning to the oven.

    Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before serving.

    Tips For Making Turkey Crescent Rolls

    Tip 1: I like baking these in the toaster oven because I don't have to heat the entire house.

    Tip 2: If the tops of the crescent rolls are getting too dark, you can cover the tray with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.

    Tip 3: A tiny bit of mustard or mayo inside before rolling adds an extra pop of flavor.


    FAQs For Turkey and Cheese Crescent Roll Recipe

    What other fillings can I use in these crescent rolls with turkey and cheese?

    This turkey and cheese crescent roll recipe can also be made with ham and cheese or roast beef and cheese. I just love the versatility of crescent rolls, don't you?

    Can I use any different varieties of cheese?

    Use what you like or have on hand when it comes to cheese. A cheddar/jack mix, mozzarella, provolone, or Swiss cheese also works well in this crescent roll recipe.

    Do you need to use shredded cheese in these turkey crescent rolls?

    We used shredded cheese, but slices would work as well. Just cut them to fit and layer them inside the crescent dough - they’ll melt just as nicely and are a little less messy for kids to help with.

    Turkey and Cheese Recipes

    Turkey and cheese just go so well together! The juicy, mild flavor of turkey pairs perfectly with the creamy, rich taste of cheese. Here are some great recipes for using them:

    • Turkey and Cranberry Grilled Cheese Sandwich
    • Turkey Bacon Sharp Cheddar Sandwich
    • Toasted Santa Fe Turkey Sandwich
    • Leftover Thanksgiving Sliders With Turkey

    Ingredients
      

    • 8 crescent rolls
    • 8 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
    • ¼ cup shredded cheese to top the crescents
    • 8 slices deli turkey

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet by applying a light coat of cooking spray.
    • Carefully unroll the crescent rolls from the tube and separate them into eight individual triangles.
    • On the wider section of each triangle, place a folded slice of turkey. Add one tablespoon of shredded cheese on top.
    • Gently roll each crescent from the wider end, ensuring the filling remains inside. Seal the edges to prevent the cheese from escaping during baking.
    • Bake the rolls for 12 minutes.
    • With one minute remaining, you may sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top if desired.
    • Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

    Notes

    • I prefer using the toaster oven for baking to avoid heating the entire house.
    • If the tops of the crescent rolls are getting too dark, you can cover the tray with foil for the rest of the cooking time.
