Another Family Favorite (Courtesy of Pillsbury) Taco Pie

My brother had/has a very limited palate and as such when my mom found a dish he liked, she kept making it. When she discovered he liked tacos, she found a recipe for a taco casserole that Pillsbury had using their crescent rolls. She called it taco pie and since he's adverse to vegetables of ANY kind, including tomatoes, she made hers with taco meat, crescents and cheese. This is another dish that has become a favorite in my house but I've lightened it up a bit and no one is bothered a bit!

2 packages reduced-fat crescent rolls
1 pound ground Turkey
Favorite taco seasoning
Water as directed by seasoning
2 cups shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese

Spread out one package of crescents onto an ungreased cookie sheet, pressing together the seams until the dough is in a large rectangle. Do the same with the other package of crescents on a large sheet of wax or parchment paper, trying to approximate the size of the other sheet of dough. Cook turkey until no longer pink, and drain off all liquid in pan except for approximately 1 tablespoon. Follow instructions for seasoning the meat with the taco seasoning you prefer. Every brand of packet seasoning has different directions.( I no longer buy packets and instead by the large container of McCormick seasoning from the local big box store.)

When meat is finished and all liquid is absorbed, remove from heat and set aside. Spread one cup of cheese on the dough on the cookie sheet being sure to keep a small edge all around the rectangle. Next, evenly spread the meat on the cheese. Cover meat with remaining cheese. Then cover with the other rectangle of dough and pinch and seal the edges all the way around. Bake in the oven according to the package directions  for the crescents (usually 375 for 15-20 minutes) or until crescent rectangle is golden brown.

Slice into rectangles and serve with sour cream. I have made this adding green chiles and salsa too!
