# What You’ll Need to Make This:
→ Dough
01 -
2 packages (227 g each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
→ Filling
02 -
2 cups (approximately 280 g) cooked turkey, shredded or chopped
03 -
120 ml cranberry sauce
04 -
100 g shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
05 -
60 g mayonnaise or cream cheese
06 -
5 ml Dijon mustard
07 -
2.5 ml garlic powder
08 -
2.5 ml salt
09 -
1.25 ml ground black pepper
# How to Prepare:
01 -
Heat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Unroll crescent dough and arrange triangles in a circular pattern on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping slightly to form a ring with pointed ends facing outward.
03 -
In a mixing bowl, blend turkey, cranberry sauce, cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully incorporated.
04 -
Spoon filling evenly onto the wide ends of the dough triangles to form a uniform ring-shaped mound. Fold pointed dough ends over the filling, tucking under the base to seal.
05 -
Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until the ring is golden brown and baked through.
06 -
Let the crescent ring rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Chilling crescent dough briefly before unrolling reduces tearing and eases shaping.
02 -
Brushing the baked ring with melted butter and sprinkling with sesame seeds gives added flavor and texture.
03 -
Allow the ring to rest before slicing to help the filling set.
04 -
Substitute cooked chicken, ham, or roast beef for turkey if desired.
05 -
Prepare up to 8 hours in advance; bake fresh before serving.
06 -
Leftover slices can be frozen up to 1 month and reheated in the oven or toaster.
07 -
For variation, add chopped toasted pecans or walnuts to the filling.
08 -
Enjoy with a crisp salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
