Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (8 oz/226g each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 cups (280g) cooked turkey, diced or shredded
- 1 cup (225g) cranberry sauce (whole berry preferred)
- 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (113g) shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup (15g) fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Work Surface Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, beat your egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash and set aside.
- Step 2: Create the Cream Cheese Mixture In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. Fold in the shredded Swiss cheese and chopped parsley until evenly distributed.
- Step 3: Arrange the Crescent Dough Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate into triangles. On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the triangles in a circle with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward, resembling a sun shape. The overlapping portions should create a 5-inch diameter center opening. Gently press the overlapping sections together to seal.
- Step 4: Add the Filling Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the overlapping portions of the dough. Top with the diced turkey, distributing it in an even layer. Spoon the cranberry sauce over the turkey in small dollops, leaving some spaces between for visual appeal.
- Step 5: Fold and Seal Bring each triangle point over the filling and tuck it under the center of the ring to secure. The filling should be visible between the wrapped sections, creating a wreath-like appearance. Brush the entire surface with the prepared egg wash to ensure a golden-brown finish.
- Step 6: Bake to Perfection Bake the Savory Turkey and Cranberry Crescent Ring for 25-30 minutes until deeply golden brown and completely cooked through. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving to let the filling set.
