It is the perfect leftover roast chicken/turkey recipe and is SO adaptable. I'll give you some of my favorite additions below, but seriously: MAKE THIS RECIPE.
Crescent Turkey/Chicken Squares
2 cups leftover cooked turkey or chicken, chopped
One package crescent rolls
3 oz, butter or margarine (I use butter), softened
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp chopped chives or onion
1/4 cup bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Combine turkey/chicken, 2 tbsp butter and cream cheese
Add chives/onion
season to taste with salt and pepper
Combine two crescent rolls together to form a rectangle. Smoosh them together.
Spoon a bit of the chicken/turkey mixture into the crescent roll and twist to close.
Brush a bit of melted butter on the top and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Shannon's Adaptations!!
This is the greatest recipe to throw some veggies into to make healthier. Or, as the case is in my house, sneak some veggies into. I do think the recipe benefits from some crunch.
I always add some of the following:
carrots,
celery,
winter greens of any kind (kale, bok choy, collard greens)
spinach
onions
herbs
Really, add anything you have in the kitchen - I'm sure it'll be good!
Shannon, Shannon, Yummy Shannon! Tonight was Cafe de Cunningham at the Lambert household. I made this (and the Kale chips) and it was SOOOO delicious. The hubby pronounced it "Amazing" and "Delicious"! I substituted goat chevre for cream cheese (cause that's what I had on hand) and used jalapeno grilled chicken breasts (which I picked up at the counter at Central Market). So delicious. This will definitely become a staple at our house. Thank you.
