Description
Turkey Bundles are a delightful and savory dish that combines tender cubed turkey with a creamy filling, all wrapped in flaky crescent dough, perfect as a main course or appetizer.
Ingredients
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups cubed cooked turkey
1/4 cup chopped water chestnuts
1 green onion, chopped
2 tubes (one 8 ounces, one 4 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or leave it ungreased.
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, milk, dill weed, celery salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Stir in the cubed turkey, water chestnuts, and chopped green onion until evenly mixed.
- Unroll both tubes of crescent dough and separate them into 6 rectangles. Press the perforations to seal the dough.
- Place 1/3 cup of the turkey mixture in the center of each dough rectangle.
- Bring the 4 corners of the dough together above the filling, twisting and pinching the seams to seal securely.
- Place the filled dough bundles onto the ungreased baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the bundles with melted butter and sprinkle with seasoned bread crumbs.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bundles are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can add finely chopped vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers to the filling for extra flavor.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the filling for a spicy kick.
- Swap the cream cheese with a blend of shredded cheese like cheddar or mozzarella for a cheesy filling.
- Experiment with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley to change the flavor profile.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes or microwave for 30-45 seconds.
