A festive, flaky crescent ring stuffed with seasoned turkey and cranberry sauce, baked to perfection for a tasty appetizer.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook ground turkey until browned; season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  3. Roll out crescent dough and arrange in a circle on the baking sheet, with pointed ends facing outward, leaving a hole in the center.
  4. Spread cooked turkey evenly over the dough, leaving about 1 inch border. Spoon cranberry sauce over the turkey, then sprinkle with cheese.
  5. Fold outer points of the dough over the filling, overlapping slightly, to form a ring.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
