Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Blend cream cheese and melted margarine, then add salt, pepper, cooked turkey, milk, onion, and pimento; mix well.
- Separate crescent rolls into 4 rectangles and seal the perforations.
- Spoon the turkey mixture into the center of each rectangle.
- Pull the four corners of each rectangle to the center and seal to form a pouch.
- Brush the tops with margarine and sprinkle with seasoned croutons.
- Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider using Neufchâtel cheese instead of cream cheese, which has less fat. If you want to add more flavor, mix in some garlic powder or herbs like thyme. You can also substitute leftover chicken or ham for the turkey. If you don't have seasoned croutons, crushed crackers or breadcrumbs will work in a pinch.
Serving Suggestions
These Crescent Turkey Rolls are great as an appetizer or a main dish. Pair them with a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. They also make a wonderful addition to a potluck or game day spread, alongside dishes like Bly'S Sport Pizza for a crowd-pleasing selection.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This helps maintain the crispiness of the crescent rolls.
