Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tbsp orange juice (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine turkey, cranberry sauce, cream cheese, shredded cheese, orange juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and thick.
  3. Unroll crescent dough and separate into 16 triangles. Arrange triangles in a circle on the pan, wide ends overlapping in the center, points facing outward. Press overlapping sections to seal.
  4. Spoon turkey mixture evenly over the dough ring, keeping it close to the center.
  5. Fold each triangle tip up and over the filling, tucking under the inner ring. Patch any thin spots with leftover dough scraps.
  6. Brush the ring with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds and parsley, if using.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until deep golden and filling is bubbly. Rotate pan halfway for even browning.
  8. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

Don’t overfill the ring to avoid leaks. Seal dough edges well for best results. If filling is loose, chill before assembling. For extra crunch, add slivered almonds before baking. Use gluten-free or dairy-free substitutes as needed. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for 2 months.
