Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

8 oz deli turkey slices (preferably smoked or oven-roasted)

4 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional but recommended for garnish)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and creamy. If using, incorporate the chopped chives for added flavor and freshness.

      Roll Out the Dough: On a clean and dry surface, carefully unroll the crescent roll dough. Separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines, keeping them ready for assembly.

        Assembly: For each crescent triangle, take approximately one tablespoon of the creamy cheese mixture and spread it along the wider end. Place a slice of turkey on top of the cheese mixture, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.

          Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, gently roll the crescent triangle up towards the pointed tip. Be sure to roll it tightly but carefully to prevent the filling from spilling out.

            Egg Wash: Once all crescents are assembled, place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg, which will help achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust after baking.

              Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes. Watch closely until the crescents are flaky and golden brown.

                Serve: After removing them from the oven, let the crescents cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. These delightful rolls are best served warm, and you may accompany them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or honey mustard for an extra flavor boost.
