Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding some shredded cheese or using a flavored cream cheese. If you don't have oleo, butter works just as well. You can also substitute the turkey with chicken or any leftover meat you have on hand. To enhance flavors, try adding garlic powder or herbs like thyme or rosemary. For a crunchier topping, use seasoned bread crumbs instead of crouton crumbs.
Serving Suggestions
These Savory Crescent Turkey Squares make for a great appetizer or snack. Serve them with a side salad or some steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the squares in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through, ensuring the pastry remains flaky. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 1-2 minutes, but this may make the crust less crispy.
