Notes
I used Jimmy Dean Sausage. Can substitute turkey sausage.
I like to pulse the cooked sausage in the food processor a few times to make sure it is chopped very fine.
Can substitute low-fat cream cheese if you prefer.
Can use reduced-fat crescent rolls. I use the reduced fat crescent rolls all the time. You can’t tell a difference.
The filling can be made ahead of time and refrigerated up to 3 days.
I use a pizza cutter to cut the crescent rolls in half. It makes it much easier!
I use a small cookie scoop to scoop the filling on to the crescent rolls.
These bites taste great hot out of the oven or cooled to room temperature.
