Description
A delightful combination of creamy, cheesy, sweet, and savory that promises to elevate any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb thinly sliced turkey (leftover or deli)
- 1 tube crescent rolls (8 oz)
- 2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese, divided
- 1 (14 oz) can whole berry cranberry sauce, divided
- 4 oz chive & onion cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 3 tsp fresh rosemary or thyme, finely chopped (divided)
- ½ tsp poppy seeds
- ½ tsp granulated garlic
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to provide a non-stick surface for your crescent ring. Take your crescent roll tube and open it carefully. Arrange the rolls on the baking sheet in a circular pattern, placing the wide ends of the dough towards the inside and the tips pointing outwards, creating a sun-like design.
- In a mixing bowl, blend the softened chive & onion cream cheese with Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon of your chosen herbs. Stir these ingredients until well combined, then use a spoon or spatula to spread the flavorful mixture evenly over the wide ends of the crescent rolls.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese evenly across the cream cheese spreading. Next, lay the turkey slices over the cheese, ensuring they are spread uniformly around the circle. Spoon half of the cranberry sauce over the turkey, allowing the sweet-tartness to mingle with the savory elements. Finish this layer with the remaining cup of shredded cheese to create a gooey, melting top.
- Take each of the narrow tips of the crescent dough and fold them over the filling. Tuck them under the base of the dough ring to secure the contents. This step gives your creation its signature stuffed appearance.
- Prepare a seasoned butter by mixing melted butter with granulated garlic, salt, and poppy seeds. Using a pastry brush, generously coat the top of your crescent ring with this buttery concoction, imparting an irresistible aroma and flavor. Place the sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 22–24 minutes. Once golden brown, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the top with the remaining fresh herbs for a touch of freshness and visual appeal. Slice into wedges and serve with the remaining cranberry sauce on the side, ensuring every serving includes the delicious variety of flavors.
Notes
For easier handling, refrigerate the dough ring for 10-15 minutes before baking. Adjust the amount of cranberry sauce to your preference; more sauce will result in a sweeter finish.
