A delicious mix of chunks of tender, salty ham, creamy mayonnaise, and Swiss cheese becomes the filling for crescent roll turnovers.

Leftover Ham Turnovers

10 minutes

20 minutes

2 cups diced ham

1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese

½ cup mayonnaise

Pinch dried dill weed

Pinch kosher salt

1 can crescent refrigerated crescent roll dough

Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit.

In a medium bowl, combine the ham, cheese, mayonnaise, dill weed, and salt and stir to mix well.

I like to add a pinch of dill and salt, you could add a pinch of thyme too.

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles, keeping the matching triangles together.

Lay 4 of the dough triangles on a baking sheet. Spoon ½ cup of the ham mixture onto each of the 4 triangles. Place the matching triangles of dough on top and pinch the edges together to seal them tightly.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the tops of the turnovers are golden brown.

Serve hot.
