How to Make Cheesy Turkey Sausage Egg Breakfast Rolls
- Cook the Turkey Sausage
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the turkey sausage, breaking it apart into crumbles. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
- Heat the same skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Scramble the eggs over medium heat until just set. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

- Roll out the crescent roll or biscuit dough and separate it into individual triangles or sections.
- Place a spoonful of the egg and sausage mixture onto the wider end of each triangle. Roll them up, tucking the ends as needed to seal.
- Bake the Rolls
