Making stuffed turkey and cheese crescent rolls is a fun and simple activity for kids to enjoy with their parents. Here’s a step-by-step guide to keep things safe and interactive:

 Ingredients:

  • 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 6-8 slices of cooked turkey (or deli turkey)
  • 6-8 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite)
  • Optional: a sprinkle of shredded cheese or dried herbs for garnish
  • Non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper

What you will  need:

  • Baking sheet
  • Small bowl and brush (for optional egg wash)
  • Plastic knives or child-safe utensils
  • Measuring spoons (if adding herbs or seasoning)

 Step-by-Step  Instructions:

Preparation (Parents Lead)

  1. Set Up Workspace: Clear a clean surface, and wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven according to the crescent roll package instructions (typically 375°F or 190°C).
  3. Gather Ingredients: Place the turkey, cheese, and dough within easy reach for little hands.

 Making the Crescent Rolls (Kids Take the  Lead!)

  1. Open the Crescent Roll Can: Let your child gently tap the can on the counter to open it (with supervision).
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Lay the crescent roll triangles flat on the baking sheet.
  • Tip: Use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  1. Add the Fillings:
  • Turkey: Place a small piece of turkey in the center of each triangle.
  • Cheese: Add a slice or small piece of cheese on top of the turkey.
  1. Roll It Up: Show your child how to roll the triangle dough, starting from the wider end and rolling toward the tip.
  • Encourage them to pinch the edges lightly to keep the filling inside.

 Baking  (Parent  Supervised)

  1. Place in the Oven: Parents should handle placing the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes (or as directed on the package) until golden brown.
  2. Cooling Time: Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving. Use this time to clean up together.

 Serving  and  Enjoying

  1. Serve Warm: Pair with kid-friendly dips like honey mustard or ranch.
  2. Celebrate: Enjoy your creations together as a family!
