Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups diced cooked turkey, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup stuffing
- 1 cup cooked and seasoned mashed potatoes
Bread/Dough:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) crescent rolls (2) 8 count packages
Garnish and Sauce:
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- Freshly chopped parsley for garnish, if desired
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheating the oven to 375°F. Ensure the work surface is clean for dough manipulation.
- Unroll the first package of crescent roll dough onto a separate parchment-covered counter.
- Position a 5-inch wide bowl in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange crescent rolls around the bowl in compass directions – north, south, east, west, and then fill the diagonal positions.
- Carefully remove the central bowl and gently press the overlapping dough edges to create a cohesive circular base.
- Warm the mashed potatoes in the microwave for 1-1.5 minutes to improve spreadability. Evenly distribute the potatoes around the wide ends of the crescent rolls.
- Layer the stuffing directly over the mashed potato base, ensuring even coverage.
- Distribute turkey meat uniformly across the stuffing layer.
- Dot cranberry sauce over the turkey, gently spreading to create an even layer.
- Fold the pointed edges of each crescent roll over the filling, tucking underneath to seal the ring completely.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the dough turns golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the ring to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional cranberry sauce and gravy for dipping.
Notes
- Warm mashed potatoes and stuffing slightly before spreading to ensure easier application and even distribution across the crescent ring.
- Gently press crescent roll edges together to create a seamless seal, preventing filling from leaking during baking.
- Use rotisserie or leftover turkey for quick assembly, making this recipe perfect for holiday meal repurposing.
- For gluten-free adaptation, substitute crescent roll dough with gluten-free puff pastry or a homemade alternative made from almond flour.
