Turkey, Bacon Roll-ups

I learned a good lesson this week-if you have a can of refrigerated crescent rolls in your car on a very hot day for about 20 minutes, the can will open all by itself? Sometimes this can be a problem, but this week it resulted in a new and tasty dinner. My grocery store had crescent rolls on sale this week so I grabbed a few cans vaguely remembering a recipe I had recently seen using them. Of course, I couldn't remember what the recipe was, or the other ingredients, but I picked up the dough and headed home. When I got home to put the food away I realized one of the cans had exploded so I needed to use them right away. Taking quick inventory of the fridge here's what I came up with:

*1 can refrigerated crescent rolls
*spreadable cream cheese (I probably used about 2 oz-ish)
*1/2-3/4 c. cooked turkey, chopped into small pieces
*6 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled

Spread dough out into individual rolls (big flat triangle). Spread each with a light layer of cream cheese. Cover each with turkey and top with crumbled bacon. Roll up and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions (mine was 375 for 12 minutes).
These were good enough that I'll likely make them again. Next time I'd add some finely chopped sun-dried or regular tomatoes. I'd figure one can would feed 2 adults and 2-3-ish kids.
