  • Create a delicious Savory Turkey and Cranberry Crescent Ring with leftover turkey, cheese, and fresh herbs for a festive meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 tube crescent rolls
  • 4 oz chive and onion cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary or thyme, divided
  • 2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese, divided
  • 1 lb thinly sliced turkey (leftover or deli turkey)
  • 1 (14 oz) can whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp poppy seeds
  • 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

 

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Prepare Crescent Rolls:
  • Separate the crescent rolls and arrange them on the parchment paper in a circle with the widest portion on the inside and the edges overlapping.
  • Prepare Filling:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp of rosemary or thyme. Mix well and then spread this mixture over the widest portion of the crescent rolls. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese.
  • Add Turkey and Cranberry:
  • Arrange the turkey slices over the cheese, overlapping slightly. Spread half of the cranberry sauce over the turkey and top with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
  • Form the Ring:
  • Bring the narrow end of each crescent dough piece over the filling and tuck it underneath the ring to secure.
  • Add Toppings and Bake:
  • In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, poppy seeds, granulated garlic, and salt. Brush this mixture on top and sides of the crescent dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 22-24 minutes until golden. Allow to rest on the pan for 5 minutes.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Sprinkle the baked ring with the reserved 1 1/2 tsp of rosemary or thyme. Slice and serve with the remaining cranberry sauce on the side.
