Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb turkey sausage (ground or pre-cooked)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking the eggs)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (optional for extra veggies)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough or biscuit dough
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning (optional for topping)
Instructions
- 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.
- Combine the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, diced bell peppers (if using), and shredded cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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
- Arrange the rolls on the baking sheet, leaving space between them. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds or bagel seasoning if desired.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve
- Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm, with extra cheese or a side of hot sauce if you like!
Notes
- Don’t Overfill: Avoid overstuffing the dough to keep the rolls from bursting during baking.
- Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the filling the night before and assemble the rolls in the morning.
- Customize: Add diced onions, spinach, or mushrooms to the filling for more flavor and nutrition.
