Description
Learn how to make delicious Savory turkey and cranberry crescent ring. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
To create this delicious crescent ring, you’ll need a handful of ingredients that are likely already in your kitchen:
- 2 cans of crescent roll dough
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or chopped
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Feel free to substitute the turkey with cooked chicken if that’s what you have on hand, and if you’re out of mozzarella cheese, cheddar works just as well. Cooking is all about flexibility and making the most of what you have, a lesson I learned early on from those kitchen experiments as a kid.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to bring this recipe to life in your kitchen:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the turkey, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Open the crescent roll cans and separate the dough into triangles. Arrange them in a circle on the parchment paper, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward, forming a sunburst shape.
- Spoon the turkey mixture evenly around the center of the dough circle, followed by the cranberry sauce in dollops over the turkey.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the filling.
- Fold each triangle over the filling, tucking the points under the center to secure the ring.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before garnishing with fresh parsley, if desired. Slice and serve warm.
One tip from my kitchen to yours: If you’re cooking with little ones like my son Eli, involve them in the process. Handling the dough or sprinkling cheese is a fun way to share the joy of cooking.
