Easy Turkey Cranberry Crescent Ring Recipe

Crescent rolls are so fun to work with in a variety of ways and they're no less versatile during the holidays. I use them for appetizers such as bacon spinach crescent pinwheels, snacks like my chicken bacon ranch crescent bombs or holiday brunch Hawaiian pineapple coconut crescent braid. You can use them to make this crescent ring to repurpose leftover turkey or use deli turkey for a tasty starter.

How to Make the Best Turkey Cranberry Crescent Ring Recipe

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Turkey Cranberry Crescent Ring: One tube crescent rolls, thinly sliced deli turkey or leftover turkey, whole berry cranberry sauce, softened chive and onion cream cheese, Dijon mustard, shredded Gruyere cheese, chopped fresh rosemary, melted butter, poppy seeds, granulated garlic and salt.
• Kitchen gadgets you'll need: A large sheet pan, small bowl, measuring cups and spoons, a pastry brush and a cheese grater.
• Crescent rolls are very forgiving. If they tear while you're assembling the crescent ring simply pinch the dough back together.
• You may find it helpful to place a small oven safe bowl or ramekin in the center of the pan to help keep uniformity when forming the dough into a circle. using any oven safe ramekin means it can go right into the oven while it bakes.
• This recipe makes 8 servings. You can easily double the amount by using 2 tubes of crescent rolls to form a larger ring. The concept is exactly the same, evenly space the points of the triangles, pull over the filling and tuck.
• You can use thinly sliced leftover turkey or deli turkey for this recipe.
• This crescent ring can be fully assembled, covered and chilled until baking. Bring it to room temperature then brush with melted butter, sprinkle with seasonings and bake.
• Store leftover crescent ring chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can enjoy it cold, too!
