Pastry brush

Ingredients

Crescent Base

2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough for a flaky, golden crust

Filling

2 cups Cooked turkey, shredded for hearty base
1 cup Cranberry sauce adds sweet and tangy flavor
8 oz Cream cheese, softened for creaminess
1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese provides meltiness

Seasoning

1 teaspoon Garlic powder for aromatic flavor
1 teaspoon Onion powder adds sweetness
1 teaspoon Dried thyme for earthy notes
1 teaspoon Salt to taste
1 teaspoon Pepper to taste

Finishing Touches

1 egg beaten (for egg wash) for golden finish
2 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, cranberry sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended and creamy.
Unroll the crescent roll dough. Arrange the triangles on a lined baking sheet in a circular pattern, with wide ends overlapping at the center.
Spoon the turkey and cranberry mixture onto the widest part of each triangle. Spread evenly, ensuring not to overfill.
Fold the points of the crescent triangles over the filling, tucking them underneath.
Brush the top of the crescent ring with the beaten egg to give a shiny finish.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
Allow the crescent ring to cool for a few minutes before serving and garnish with fresh parsley.
