Turkey was our ingredient this week! All I could think of were recipes I whip up with left over turkey from either Thanksgiving or Christmas. I immediately thought of one of the Pampered Chef "rings." These rings are very simple to create. All you need is 2 packages of crescent rolls and a filling. Some of the filling flavors include Reuben, Beef Taco, Spinach Artichoke, Chicken Club, Chicken Broccoli, Garden Vegetable Omlet, and finally Turkey & Cranberry.

INGREDIENTS

• Two 8 oz pkg crescent rolls
• 2 cups chopped cooked turkey
• 1 1/4 cups shredded swiss cheese
• 1/2 cup sliced celery
• 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
• 3 tbsp snipped fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp honey dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING THE RING

• Unroll 2 pkgs of crescent rolls and separate into 16 triangles.
• Arrange those triangles, slighly overlapping, in a circle around the stoneware (or pizza pan) with the wide end 4 inches from the edge of the stone. The points will be hanging off the edge.
• Roll the edges into the center to create a 5 inch opening. I decided to scan the picture of how to make the ring from the cookbook. It's a little hard to visualize through words only, but a picture brings it all together.
  

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING THE FILLING

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• In a large bowl, combine turkey, 1 cup of the cheese, celery, cranberries, parsley, mayonnaise, mustard and black pepper; mix well.
• Scoop the filling on the crescent roll ring. Take the pointed end of each crescent roll and pull it up and over the filling. Tuck the end under the center of the ring. Some of the filling will show!!!!
• Brush with egg white.
• Sprinkle with remaining cheese
• Bake 25 -30 minutes or until golden brown

I made the basic ring, but there's a wreath and a braid! The fillings are all very delicious and can be found in the Pampered Chef All The Best Cookbook. If you ever go to a Pampered Chef party, and aren't sure which recipe book to buy...get that one!
