How to Make Cajun Crescent Turnovers

**Prepare the Cajun Rice Filling:**
Sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 cup sliced mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter until softened and mushrooms release their liquid (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in 1 cup cooked rice and 1/2 cup water.
Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning.
Mix well, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
**Assemble and Bake the Turnovers:**
While the rice simmers, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Separate one 8-ounce can of refrigerated crescent roll dough into 8 rectangles.
Seal the seams of each rectangle by pressing the dough together.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the rice mixture into the center of each rectangle.
Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt.
Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash.
Place the turnovers on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
