This show-stopping crescent ring features golden, flaky dough filled with savory turkey, creamy brie, tangy cranberry sauce, and fresh rosemary. It’s a quick, crowd-pleasing comfort food perfect for holidays, potlucks, or using up leftovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or chopped
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (whole berry preferred, jellied works)
  • 6 oz brie cheese, rind removed and cut into thin slices
  • 2–3 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (optional, for brushing)
  • Additional fresh rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)
  • Dried cranberries or toasted pecans (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Open crescent roll dough cans and separate triangles. Arrange in a circle on the pan with wide ends overlapping in the center and points outward, leaving a 5-inch opening in the middle. Press overlapped centers to seal.
  3. Evenly distribute turkey over the overlapped section of dough. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Arrange brie slices on top of the turkey, keeping cheese away from the very edges.
  5. Spoon cranberry sauce evenly over the brie. Sprinkle chopped rosemary and garlic powder (if using) over everything.
  6. Fold pointed ends of dough triangles up and over the filling, tucking points under the ring. Pinch seams to seal.
  7. Brush dough with beaten egg for shine. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is bubbly. If browning too fast, tent with foil for the last 5 minutes.
  8. Let cool on the pan for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with extra rosemary, dried cranberries, or toasted nuts if desired.
  9. Slice into wedges and serve warm. Serve with extra cranberry sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

Keep crescent dough cold for easier handling. Don’t overfill to prevent leaks. Pinch seams well to avoid cheese overflow. Let the ring rest before slicing for neat pieces. Easily adaptable with chicken, different cheeses, or gluten-free/vegan alternatives.
