Mini-Calzone Polka Dot Puffs

Your guests will love these delicious mini bites filled with turkey meatballs, a tasty pasta sauce and shredded mozzarella. They are quick and easy to make.

32 turkey meatballs, if previously frozen, thawed in refrigerator
1 cup of your favorite pasta sauce
1 cup mozzarella, shredded
2 cans of refrigerated crescent rounds (16 rounds)

Step One: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove crescent rounds from package. Do not separate into rounds. Using serrated knife, cut each roll evenly into 16 rounds, carefully separate rounds. Press each round into a circle 3 inches in diameter. Place a tablespoon of sauce into the center of each round. Cover with a tablespoon of shredded cheese. Place a meatball into the center on top of sauce and cheese. Shape dough around ball to cover completely. Place puffs on a large ungreased cookie sheet about two inches apart. (Puffs can be made ahead of time up to this point. Cover loosely with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate.)

Step Two: Bake 17 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. (May need to cook a little longer, if you refrigerated puffs before baking.) Cool 5 minutes. Serve warm.
