I am officially at the crossroad where Thanksgiving weekend ends, and the work week begins.Today, I'd like to check in with another SIMPLE SUNDAY, where doing something simple makes a huge impact! Below I'm sharing a super simple and delicious way to polish off the rest of those leftovers from Turkey day.
Note: Leftovers should typically be kept for 3-5 days depending on the item.***
Turkey Day Turnover
What you'll need:
Leftovers ie; turkey meat, stuffing, and cranberry sauce
crescent rolls
The sweetness of the cranberries blends so well with the savory mixture of stuffing and turkey. Once you add the buttery roll, this turnover is sure to please.
Instructions:
- unroll your crescent rolls by 2 (leave two triangles connected) onto a cookie sheet
- Layer your roll with turkey, stuffing,(I was lucky, I had Momma's homemade cornbread stuffing! Yum. ) and cranberry sauce
- Fold the sides of your crescent roll over and pinch opened ends closed with a fork
- Bake in oven on 375 for 13 minutes. Your roll should be golden brown and the leftovers will warm up nicely! (no strange microwave texture.)
- Remove from oven and ENJOY!!! (I know my family did!)
****Here is the food safety fact sheet that is available on the USDA's website.
