Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 pound turkey sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
Special equipment needed:
- Non-stick skillet
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a non-stick skillet, cook the turkey sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked sausage and scramble until the eggs are cooked through.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
6. On a lightly floured surface, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
7. Spoon the sausage and egg mixture evenly onto each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
8. Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the point, tucking in the edges as you go, to form a roll.
