Well, I looked at my turkey leftovers and decided to make a version of roll-ups. I believe the original recipe came from my Mom’s Welcome Wagon cookbook from Central Pennsylvania and was called “Chicken Roll-ups”. The original recipe uses chicken, cheddar cheese, crescent rolls, and cream of chicken or mushroom soup. I decided to take a Mexican twist on the original. I used turkey leftovers with a Pepper Jack/ Cheddar cheese and skipped the soup in favor of guacamole. How can you go wrong with dough, cheese, and turkey?
