Turkey Cranberry Wreath

Turkey Cranberry Wreath

Do you have leftover turkey from the holidays still? Tired of making those turkey sandwiches?
Create this impressive wreath featuring a warm, cranberry-studded turkey filling.

  • 2 pkgs (8oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsps honey dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2 cups (12oz) chopped cooked turkey
  • 1/2 cup sliced celery
  • 3 tbsps snipped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • 1 cup (4oz) shredded swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1 egg
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Unroll crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles.  With wide ends of triangles toward the center, arrange 8 triangles in a circle on the Large Round Stone.  Corners of wide ends will touch and points will extend 1 inch beyond edge of baking stone.  Arrange remaining 8 triangles in center, matching wide ends.  Seal seams using Baker's Roller. (points will overlap in center; do not seal)
  2. place mayonnaise, mustard and black pepper in Classic Batter Bowl.  Chop turkey using Food Chopper.  Slice celery using Chef's Knife.  Snip parsley using Kitchen Shears.  Add turkey, celery, parsley and cranberries to batter bowl.  Grate cheese into batter bowl using Deluxe Cheese Grater.  Mix filling using Small Mix 'n Scraper.  Using Medium Scoop, Scoop filling over seams of dough, forming a circle.
  3. Coarsely chop walnuts using food chopper; sprinkle over filling.  Beginning in center, lift one dough triangle across filling mixture.  Continue alternating with outer triangles, slightly overlapping to form wreath.  Tuck last end under first.
  4. Separate egg over Small Batter Bowl using Egg Separator. (Discard yolk or set aside for another use.) Lightly beat egg white; brush over dough using Pastry Brush.  Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve using Slice 'N Serve
Yield:  10 servings

Cook's Tip:
If desired, 2 cups chopped cooked chicken can be substituted for the turkey.

My Tip - To veganize this -
Make sure your dough is egg free for starters - refrigerated crescent rolls is actually high in calories
replace the mayonnaise with your favorite vegan mayonnaise - I prefer Veganaise
to replace the honey dijon mustard - just use vegan friendly dijon mustard and add a little agave nectar
to replace the turkey - make your own seitan or you can buy it already pre-falvored - or if you have left over Tofurkey you can use that too
the egg is only for brushing on the top - just do not do that step at all


Original recipe is from Pampered Chef - this is one of my most popular recipes I do around the holidays - If you have trouble making the wreath - just do this as a ring or as a braid

ALL of the Pampered Chef tools needed for this recipe are in This Color.
