– 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
– 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or chopped
– 1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened

Making the Savory Turkey and Cranberry Crescent Ring is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded turkey, cranberry sauce, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Roll Out Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Pinch the seams together to create a single large sheet of dough.
4. Create a Circle: Lay the dough in a circular pattern, leaving the center open, like a pastry wreath.
5. Add the Filling: Spoon the turkey and cranberry mixture evenly around the outer edge of the dough.
6. Fold Over Dough: Take the outer edges of the dough and fold them over the filling, tucking the ends underneath to secure them.
7. Brush with Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the top of the crescent ring for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Place the ring in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme for an elegant touch.
Following these simple steps will allow you to create the incredible Savory Turkey and Cranberry Crescent Ring effortlessly.
