Let’s Make it together

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll your crescent roll dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Mix Your Fillings: In a bowl, combine cooked chicken or turkey with shredded cheese, spinach (or broccoli), and garlic powder. Mix well until everything is coated in cheesy goodness.

Assemble Your Rolls: Take a triangle of dough and spoon about one tablespoon of your mixture onto the wide end. Roll it up from the base towards the tip tightly enough so nothing escapes.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Place each rolled-up creation on your baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown and oh-so-deliciously fragrant.

Cool and Serve!: Take those beautiful rolls out of the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Share with friends or keep them all to yourself—no judgment here!

These steps will guide you through creating scrumptious crescent rolls that will impress everyone around you. Enjoy experimenting with different fillings based on what you have at home!
