This easy and elegant looking crescent ring is perfect for a special afternoon lunch or as a “bring along” dish for a potluck.
Cranberry Walnut Turkey Crescent Ring
Ingredients
- 2 C cooked Turkey diced
- Swiss Cheese sliced
- 1/2 C Dried Cranberries
- 1/2 C Celery chopped
- 1/2 C Onions chopped
- 1/4 C Walnuts chopped
- 1/2 C Mayonnaise
- 2 TBS Mustard Dijon or Honey Mustard are nice
- 2 TBS Fresh Parsley or 1 TBS Dried
- 2 8 oz pkg crescent rolls
- Salt & Pepper
- Egg White
- Water
Instructions
-
-
Mix turkey, celery, onion, cranberry, walnut, mayonnaise, mustard and parsley in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
Lightly oil a pizza pan or stone.
-
Open crescent rolls & separate into triangles. Place triangles with the wide ends about 3 inches in from the edge of the pan and the points hanging off the pan. The wide edges should overlap--it will resemble a "sun".
-
Spoon the turkey mixture onto the ring.
-
Cut or tear cheese into rectangles and place over the turkey filling.
-
Fold the points of the crescent rolls over the filling and gently tuck under the ring.
-
Beat egg white with a tsp or so of water and brush over the crescent roll part of the ring.
-
Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes--the crescent rolls should be golden brown.
Variations
-
Instead of turkey use leftover or canned chicken.
-
Leave out the walnuts, or use pecans instead.
-
Substitute raisins or cut up grapes for the dried cranberries.
I made this recipe using Great Value Crescent Rolls and leftover Thanksgiving turkey. I believe this recipe was initially from “Pampered Chef”–but I was given it by a friend and adapted it for my family’s tastes and the ingredients available.
Note: This post was created in support of a post for Great Value, to be published tomorrow, but this post itself is not sponsored
Jen since you use thezip list thing can you add the “add recipe ” button so we can add it to our recipe box? Thanks.
Joyce-I’m seeing the “Save Recipe” button when I look at this post on my desktop using Firefox for my browser. . . are you not seeing it? What browser are you using?
Jenn, I am at work so I’m not sure…I think it’s Internet Explorer. I’ll have to find time to get it on my home computer. I had another question. Have you ever tried to freeze this? I have a few functions and would like to do a mass baking session. Thanks.
I’ve never frozen it, so I’m not sure. I would think that the crescent rolls would not really be the same after freezing–but I haven’t tried it. I think if you put the crescent ring all together you could refrigerate it for a few days and then bake them.
