Serves 16
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 stalks Tasty Tuscany™, stems removed and reserved for a later use, and leaves finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (16-ounce) tube pork sausage
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
2 (8-ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls (8 rolls each)
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until hot. Sauté Tasty Tuscany™ with garlic powder for 3 to 4 minutes or until wilted; set aside.
3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine sausage and bell pepper; mix well. Unroll one package of the crescent rolls and press seams together to form one large rectangle. Repeat with second package of crescent rolls.
4. Spread half of sausage mixture evenly over each rectangle; evenly divide sautéed Tasty Tuscany over the sausage mixture. Starting from the narrow end, roll up jelly roll-style. With a serrated knife, cut each roll into eight equal slices, then arrange them on their sides on the baking sheet to create a Christmas tree shape (see photo).
5. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until sausage is no longer pink and crust is golden. Serve warm.
Salad Savoy Tip! To garnish platter, cut 2 to 3 leaves of the Tasty Tuscany into 1/4-inch ribbons and fluff them around our edible Christmas tree for a fun and festive look.
