Description

This Savory Turkey and Cranberry Crescent Ring offers a deliciously festive twist on leftover turkey. Combining tender shredded turkey, tangy cranberry sauce, and melted cheese wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough, this ring is perfect for a holiday appetizer or a comforting snack. The seasoned filling is encased in buttery dough, brushed with egg wash, and baked to golden perfection for an appetizing presentation.


Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
  • 1 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Dough

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough

For Egg Wash

  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature when your crescent ring is assembled.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, cranberry sauce, shredded cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Shape the Dough Ring: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a baking sheet and carefully form it into a circular ring shape, pinching the seams to seal the dough together.
  4. Assemble the Ring: Spread the prepared turkey and cranberry mixture evenly over the dough ring, then carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling to enclose it, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
  5. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the surface of the dough generously with the beaten egg. This will give the crescent ring a beautiful golden-brown finish when baked.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent ring is puffed up and golden brown on top.

Notes

  • Use leftover cooked turkey or freshly cooked turkey for best flavor.
  • If you prefer, substitute the cranberry sauce with a spiced chutney or jam for a different twist.
  • Be sure to seal the dough edges tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • Let the crescent ring cool slightly before slicing to help the filling set.
  • This dish can be served warm or at room temperature, making it a great party appetizer.
