Want a quick and easy meal? This is it! Turkey & Mozzarella Roll Ups. This recipe takes only a few ingredients, and the ingredients I have listed can be swapped out for your favorites. Use ham, chicken, roast beef, pepperoni, cheddar, provolone, pepper jack, or whatever sounds good to you that day.

What is a roll up?

A roll up has ingredients, such as cheeses, meats, veggies, rolled up into either tortillas, crescent dough, pizza dough or other dough, such as pastry.

These roll ups would be great for a party or get-together. Easy pick me up food! Make them for a football watching day or as an appetizer before Thanksgiving or Christmas meal.

Fun fact

Crescent dough became popular in home kitchens because it gives you that flaky, bakery-style feel without having to make laminated dough from scratch. That means you can get a pretty party recipe on the table with very little fuss. Another fun fact? “Roll ups” show up in all kinds of cuisines because wrapping filling in bread, dough, or flatbread is one of the easiest ways to turn simple ingredients into finger food.

Tips and tricks for the best roll ups

Keep the crescent dough cold until you are ready to use it. Warm dough gets sticky and can tear when you try to shape it. If it starts to soften too much, pop it back in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Also, do not overstuff the dough. I know, the cheese is the best part, but too much filling can leak out while baking. A little goes a long way.

For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted butter before baking and sprinkle on garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or parmesan cheese. If you want the roll ups to brown evenly, bake them on parchment paper or a baking mat and keep an eye on them during the last few minutes. Every oven has its own personality.

Serving suggestions

Serve these roll ups warm with marinara, ranch, honey mustard, garlic butter, cranberry sauce, or a creamy parmesan dip. They also make a fun lunch with a side salad, chips, fruit, or a cup of soup. If you are serving them for game day, place the ring on a big platter and add small bowls of dipping sauces in the middle so everyone can grab and dip.

Make-ahead tip

You can prep the filling ingredients ahead of time by slicing the turkey and cheese and keeping them covered in the refrigerator. I recommend waiting to assemble the crescent dough until close to baking time so it stays flaky and does not get soggy. If you need to assemble a little early, cover the pan lightly and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Storage tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until warm so the dough crisps back up. The microwave works when you are in a hurry, but the crescent dough will be softer. If freezing, wrap individual pieces tightly and freeze for up to 2 months, then thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

Is crescent dough the same as puff pastry?

Both crescent (croissant) dough and puff pastry are flaky and light. However, the crescent dough have a little yeast in the recipe.

How do you make crescent dough from scratch?

This is something that I have yet to do. It’s just so much easier to buy it nowadays. Maybe, someday. But here is a recipe for you to try.
