Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ground turkey sausage
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsps melted butter
- 1 tsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Prep Oven: Preheat to 375°F, creating an ideal baking environment for golden, crispy bundles.
- Sausage Base: Brown ground turkey sausage in a skillet, crumbling and draining excess grease. Incorporate diced onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, sautéing until onions turn translucent and flavors meld.
- Dough Assembly: Unroll crescent roll dough triangles, positioning a hearty spoonful of seasoned sausage mixture at the wide base. Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
- Bundle Crafting: Roll each triangle from the wide end to the pointed tip, carefully encasing the savory filling within the buttery dough. Arrange bundles on a baking sheet with precision.
- Finishing Touches: Brush bundles with melted butter and dust with poppy seeds for an elegant crunch. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until achieving a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Serving: Allow bundles to cool briefly, enabling the filling to set and flavors to harmonize before presenting these delectable morsels to eager guests.
Notes
- Prep Like a Pro: Drain sausage thoroughly to prevent soggy dough and ensure crispy, flaky bundles.
- Cheese Melting Magic: Shred cheese fresh for maximum meltability and richer flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- Seal with Precision: Pinch crescent roll edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Temperature Tip: Let bundles rest 2-3 minutes after baking to stabilize filling and prevent burning your mouth.
