Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Dough
- 2 packages (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Filling
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or chopped
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or cream cheese
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and arrange the triangles in a circular pattern on the baking sheet, overlapping slightly to form a ring. Make sure the pointed ends face outward, creating an attractive sunburst effect.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, cranberry sauce, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the Ring: Spoon the prepared filling onto the wide ends of the crescent dough, creating a circular mound. Then gently fold the pointed dough ends over the filling and tuck them under the base to securely seal the ring.
- Bake: Place the assembled crescent ring in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the crescent ring to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before slicing it into wedges and serving warm.
Notes
- You can substitute cream cheese for mayonnaise to make a richer filling.
- Use leftover turkey or rotisserie chicken for convenience and great flavor.
- For a vegetarian twist, omit turkey and add sautéed mushrooms or chopped nuts.
- Serve with extra cranberry sauce or mustard on the side for dipping.
- Ensure the crescent dough triangles overlap well to avoid leakage of filling during baking.
