  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Crescent Ring

  • 2 (8 ounce) tubes crescent rolls
  • 1 cup leftover shredded cooked turkey
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder, to taste
  • 1 cup leftover cooked stuffing
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional)
  • ½ cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 teaspoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Serving

  • 1 cup turkey or chicken gravy

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay a piece of parchment paper on a large cookie sheet and spray it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Form Crescent Roll Base: Place a small bowl in the center of the cookie sheet (this will later hold the gravy). Unroll both cans of crescent rolls and arrange the dough around the bowl in an overlapping sun-shape pattern to form the crescent ring base.
  3. Add Turkey Layer: Spread the shredded cooked turkey evenly around the inside edge of the crescent dough. Optionally, season the turkey with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance flavor.
  4. Spread Stuffing Layer: Evenly spread the cooked stuffing over the turkey layer to build the next savory layer in the ring.
  5. Add Spinach Leaves: Distribute fresh spinach leaves evenly over the stuffing layer to add freshness and color. This step is optional.
  6. Top with Cranberry Sauce and Cheese: Spread cranberry sauce evenly atop the spinach and then cover with shredded Monterey Jack cheese for a creamy, tangy finish.
  7. Seal the Ring: Carefully pull the outer edges of the crescent rolls over the filling and tuck the ends under the base to seal the ring. Remove the bowl from the center once this is done.
  8. Brush with Butter Mixture: Combine the melted butter and poultry seasoning, then brush this mixture generously over the crescent roll dough to encourage browning and extra flavor.
  9. Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Serve with Gravy: Remove from oven and add the bowl back to the ring's center. Warm the gravy and pour into the bowl. Cut the crescent ring into wedges and serve immediately, dipping pieces in the gravy as desired.

Notes

  • You can customize the filling by adding or omitting the spinach based on your preference.
  • Leftover cranberry sauce adds a nice sweet and tart contrast to the savory layers.
  • Use freshly baked crescent rolls rather than store-bought ready-made to enhance texture and flavor.
  • To reheat, cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
  • Ensure the bowl used in the center is oven-safe if placed in the oven or remove before baking and add afterward as suggested.
