Lil Smokies in a Blanket

For the longest time I have been craving hotdogs, but during pregnancy they tell you to avoid hotdogs because they are made with a variety of junk meat. However, I am allowed to have turkey so I found some turkey lil smokies and found a pig in a blanket recipe for these lil piggies. :-) Hope you enjoy as much as Kevin and I will.


Ingredients
1 packet of lil smokies (I'm using turkey smokies)
1 can of crescent rolls (8oz can)
mustard &/or ketchup (if desired)

Directions
Cut each crescent roll into four slim strips. They will be wider at one end than the other.
You can spread just a little mustard or ketchup (or both) on the rolls. This gives a bit of flavor and makes the rolls really soft inside. Don't overdo it. Just a dab on the condiments. You can also slather the Lil Piggies after they're cooked. Put a Lil Smokie at the fat end and roll up. The ends of the Lil Smokies should be sticking out a bit. Place the Lil Smokie Piggies with the end point down on a cookie sheet to keep them from unrolling as they cook and pull up. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake for around 15 minutes or until the rolls are browned and pretty.
Serves 6-8 (depending on how many you can eat)

  1. I have made a similar version of these with sausages and/or bratwursts. I don't cut up the crescent rolls though. You can also add in a little bit of cheese.

  2. Mmmm cheese sounds good. I had to cut up the crescent rolls with the lil ones, otherwise I would've ran out of breading. Next time I'm gonna try full version hot dogs. My dad said they make turkey-dogs.
