  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, cook ground turkey over medium heat until browned. Add diced onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook until onions are soft. Stir in chopped cranberries and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Unroll crescent dough and arrange slices in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping edges to form a ring with a hollow center.
  4. Spread the turkey mixture evenly over the dough, leaving some space at the edges.
  5. Fold the outer edges of the dough over the filling slightly, then tuck points of dough to seal edges.
  6. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
