- Turkey: You can use thinly sliced leftover turkey or deli turkey for this recipe.

- Crescent Rolls: You can use one or two cans of crescent rolls, depending on how many servings you need, with no other adjustments. When serving as an appetizer use two cans to make it easier to cut into thinner slices.

- Cheese: You can use Swiss cheese, monterey jack cheese or cheddar cheese in place of Gruyere.

- Cranberry Sauce: You can use honey mustard, whole grain mustard or Dijon mustard in place of cranberry sauce.

- Herbs - Rosemary is outstanding in this crescent ring. It's in the cream cheese filling and it also doubles as a garnish. You could use a different herb such as thyme or chives, instead.
