📋How to Make Turkey and Cheese Crescents
STEP 1: Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
STEP 2: Unroll the crescent roll dough from the tube and separate the crescent dough sheets into eight triangles.
STEP 3: On the wider end of each dough triangle, place one folded-up slice of turkey. Top with one tablespoon of shredded cheese.
STEP 3: Roll up the stuffed crescent by the wider end, careful that none of the filling spills out. Seal the seams so the cheese doesn't come out when baking.
STEP 4: Place on the prepared baking sheet, a few inches apart. 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.
STEP 5: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
👩🏻🍳Expert Tips
Tip 1: I like baking these in the toaster oven because I don't have to heat up 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.
