Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground turkey sausage
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Aromatic Ingredients:
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
Topping:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Fire up the oven to a toasty 375°F, creating the perfect environment for golden, crispy bundles.
- Sizzle the ground turkey sausage in a skillet, breaking it into crumbly bits until rich brown color develops and excess grease drains away.
- Introduce finely diced onions to the sausage, sautéing until they turn translucent and release their aromatic sweetness. Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to elevate the flavor profile.
- Gently unfurl the crescent roll dough, separating each delicate triangle with care. Nestle a generous spoonful of the seasoned sausage mixture onto the broader base of each triangle.
- Cascade a blanket of shredded cheddar cheese over the savory sausage filling, ensuring every morsel will be infused with cheesy goodness.
- Craft each bundle by rolling from the wide end toward the pointed tip, carefully encasing the flavorful filling within the soft, buttery dough.
- Arrange the assembled bundles on a baking sheet, positioning them with precision for even cooking.
- Transform the bundles with a luxurious brush of melted butter, then dust with a sprinkle of poppy seeds for an elegant touch and subtle crunch.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the bundles to bake until they achieve a stunning golden-brown exterior, typically 12-15 minutes.
- Permit the bundles a brief moment to cool, allowing the filling to set and the flavors to meld, before serving these irresistible morsels to eager guests.
