Savory turkey and cranberry crescent ring

INGREDIENTS

1 tube crescent rolls
4 oz chive and onion cream cheese
1 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary or thyme, divided
2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese, divided
1 lb thinly sliced turkey
1 (14 oz) can whole berry cranberry sauce (half for the recipe and 1/2 for serving)
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 tsp poppy seeds
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/4 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375°F Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper

Separate crescent rolls. Arrange on parchment paper in a circle with widest portion on the inside, edges overlapping. (Around a 4 or 5-inch circle in the center.)

Filling: whisk the cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp of rosemary or thyme. Spread on the widest part of the crescent rolls.

Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Arrange the turkey slices over cheese.

Spread half of the cranberry sauce over turkey and top with remaining cheese.

Mix together the melted butter, poppy seeds, garlic, and salt.

Bake for 22-24 minutes until golden.

Notes

Turkey: You can use thinly sliced leftover turkey or deli turkey for this recipe.
Crescent Rolls: You can use one or two cans of crescent rolls, depending on how many servings you need, with no other adjustments. When serving as an appetizer use two cans to make it easier to cut into thinner slices.
Cheese: You can use Swiss cheese, monterey jack cheese or cheddar cheese in place of Gruyere.
Cranberry Sauce: You can use honey mustard, whole grain mustard or Dijon mustard in place of cranberry sauce.
Herbs – Rosemary is outstanding in this crescent ring. It’s in the cream cheese filling and it also doubles as a garnish. You could use a different herb such as thyme or chives, instead.
