Stuffed Crescent Ring ~ Leftover Turkey

A Turkey Stuffed Crescent Ring is a delicious and fun way to use up that leftover turkey. Not only can it help to get those pesky chunks of meat out of the way, but it does so in such a gorgeous fashion.

Finding leftover turkey recipes can often be a challenge as many fall into casseroles and soups, which are great for dinner, but what about lunch?

This festive-looking Thanksgiving crescent ring is a buttery, golden,  and flakey crescent ring filled with turkey, stuffing, cheese, and cranberry sauce gives you an assortment of flavors, textures, and colors that just work wonderfully together! Easy to cut into chunks and handoff to the family lunch-time.

Finding a filling lunch that’s not only frugal but filling can be a crazy task. You don’t want to repeat the same dishes over and over again, which is one reason why this unique crescent ring is such a big hit.

Families don’t often eat turkey and stuffing throughout the year, which makes this leftover turkey recipe more rare on the menu plan.

I keep saying that this turkey stuffed crescent ring is a great lunch idea, but it can be an amazing appetizer too just like my turkey sliders.

Just make sure to cut the pieces down to smaller portion sizes as appetizers are generally meant to be a sampling of food before the main meal.
