Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 triangles)
- 8 slices deli turkey
- 4 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese, cut in half
Spread
- 1 tablespoon Dijon or yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Topping
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Separate the crescent roll dough into 8 triangles and lay them flat on a clean surface, ready for filling.
- Mix Spread: In a small bowl, combine the mustard and mayonnaise until well blended to create a flavorful spread.
- Assemble Pockets: Spread a small amount of the mustard-mayo mixture onto each triangle. Then layer one slice of deli turkey and one half slice of cheese on the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll Pockets: Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the tip, folding in the sides as you go to form a sealed pocket.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled pockets seam side down on the prepared baking sheet for stability during baking.
- Add Toppings: Brush the tops of the pockets with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder and dried parsley for extra flavor and lovely color.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pockets cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set and avoid burning your mouth.
Notes
- You can substitute Swiss or cheddar cheese with provolone or mozzarella for different flavors.
- Add thin slices of tomato or fresh spinach inside for extra nutrition and taste.
- These pockets reheat well in an air fryer or oven—simply warm them up before serving.
