Print Recipe

These crescent roll-ups combine buttery flaky dough with creamy avocado and savory turkey for a quick, delicious, and lunchbox-friendly handheld meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tube (8 oz / 226 g) crescent roll dough
  • 6 oz (170 g) turkey slices, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe medium avocado, peeled and sliced
  • 3 oz (85 g) sliced cheddar or pepper jack cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional extras: thinly sliced red onion, baby spinach leaves, Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lime juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mash lightly with a fork so it’s creamy but still has some texture.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into eight triangle-shaped segments on a clean surface.
  4. On each crescent triangle, spread a thin layer of the mashed avocado, leaving a small border around the edges. Layer 1-2 slices of turkey on top, followed by a slice of cheese if using. Add optional extras like spinach leaves if desired.
  5. Starting from the wider end, roll each triangle toward the point, tucking in the sides slightly to keep the filling from escaping. Place the roll-ups seam side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Optionally brush the tops with a little melted butter or olive oil for extra browning and flavor.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
  8. Let the roll-ups rest on the tray for 5 minutes before serving or packing.

Notes

Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks. Chill dough if too sticky. Bake on middle rack to avoid burning bottoms. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast. Rest roll-ups after baking for easier handling. Reheat in toaster oven for best texture; avoid microwaving.
