Zesty Italian Crescent Pie

I saw this recipe over at Taste and Tell and thought it looked soooo good I had to try it. It's from one of the Pillsbury Bake-Off cookbooks and incredibly easy to make. It is even easier to make thanks to Pillsbury's new Recipe Creations. It's the dough from their Crescent Rolls only in one big sheet so you can make different things with it. Almost like a pastry sheet.

I only changed the recipe a little bit, switching out the ground beef for ground turkey and using reduced fat mozzarella. The original recipe also called for 2 tablespoons of melted butter to mix with Parmesan cheese but I just sprayed butter flavored cooking spray on top of the pie crust and sprinkled 1/3 cup of freshly grated Asiago cheese over it. For the pasta sauce I used Trader Joe's Organic Marinara Sauce as it is low fat and very low sodium.

You will want to let this set up for about a half hour after it comes out of the oven so it doesn't run all over the place. This tasted fantastic and I will definitely be making it again.
