3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

2 c. cubed turkey

¼ tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

2 Tbsp. milk

1 (8 oz.) can refrigerated crescent rolls

¾ c. seasoned croutons, crushed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese and 2 tablespoons butter (reserve 1 tablespoon) until smooth. Add turkey, salt, pepper, milk and chives; mix well. Separate crescent rolls into 4 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal. Spoon ½ cup of meat mixture onto center of crescent rectangle. Pull four corners of dough to top center of meat mixture; twist slightly to seal ends.

Brush tops with reserved 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle with crushed croutons. Dip bottom in crushed croutons and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes until dough is golden brown and done in the center.
