Enjoy the flavors of Thanksgiving in this easy Turkey Crescent Ring made with your holiday leftovers! You'll taste turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce and a buttery crescent roll in every bite of this fun family dinner that's perfect for any night of the week.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces crescent rolls (2) 8 count packages
- 1 cup cooked and seasoned mashed potatoes
- 1 cup stuffing
- 2 cups diced cooked turkey cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- ½ cup cranberry sauce
- freshly chopped parsley for garnish if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F, and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a piece of parchment. Also, clean your work surface under the baking sheet since the crescent roll dough will fall over the edges of the pan as you're constructing.
- Place a separate sheet of parchment onto the counter and roll out one packet of crescent rolls.
- Place a small bowl that measures 5-inches wide into the center of the baking sheet. Place the wide end of 4 crescent rolls up against the bowl in the north, south, east and west positions. Add 4 crescent rolls to the NE, SE, SW and NW positions. Dough will begin to overlap.
- Unroll the 2nd package of crescents onto the parchment and fill in the rest of the circle. Carefully remove the bowl from the center and gently press down on the dough around the center to adhere.
- Spread the mashed potatoes around the wide end of the crescents. Place the stuffing on top of the mashed potatoes. I've found it easiest to warm the mashed potatoes in the microwave for about 1 - 1 1/2 minutes, so they spread more easily. You may want to do the same with the stuffing as well as it may be easier to work with if it's been refrigerated.
- Evenly distribute the turkey on top of the stuffing. Place dollops of cranberry sauce around the circle over the turkey and gently spread.
- Bring the pointed edge of each crescent up over the filling and tuck under the center to secure it until ring is completely covered.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional cranberry sauce and a bowl of gravy in the center for dipping or drizzling.
