Perfect as a main course or appetizer, this savory-sweet dish is easy to prepare and bakes to golden perfection, making it an ideal crowd-pleaser for gatherings or cozy family meals.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 cups cooked turkey (shredded or chopped)
  • ½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss or mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked turkey, whole berry cranberry sauce, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed to create the flavorful filling.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough cans and separate into 16 individual triangles.
  4. Arrange Dough: On the lined baking sheet, arrange the triangles in a circle with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the pointed ends facing outward, forming a wreath shape.
  5. Add Filling: Spoon the turkey and cranberry filling evenly around the wide ends of each dough triangle.
  6. Fold and Secure: Fold the pointed ends of the dough over the filling and tuck them underneath the overlapping wide ends in the center to secure the ring shape.
  7. Egg Wash: Brush the entire dough surface with the beaten egg to achieve a shiny, golden crust after baking.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crescent ring is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Cool and Garnish: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • This recipe is perfect for using up Thanksgiving leftover turkey, but works just as well with cooked chicken.
  • Serve with extra cranberry sauce or gravy on the side for added flavor and moisture.
  • Make sure to tuck the dough points securely underneath to prevent filling from spilling during baking.
  • Use either Swiss or mozzarella cheese based on your preference for a mild, melty texture.
  • Allow the crescent ring to cool slightly before slicing to keep the shape intact.
