Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375*F.
- In bowl, combine turkey, 1 cup of the cheese, celery, green onion if using, cranberries, parsley, mayonnaise, mustard and black pepper. Mix well. Set aside.
- Unroll the 2 packages of crescent rolls; separate into 16 triangles in a circle on a large pizza pan or stone with wide ends 3 inches from the edge of pizza pan and points towards the outside. Points will extend off the edge of the pan(depending on size). Arrange the remaining triangles in the center of the pan, matching wide ends with triangles already in placed. The points will overlap in center.
- Using small rolling pin(or small round jar or drinking glass), roll over seams of triangles where wide ends meet, making a smooth surface for filling. Don't seal center triangles.
- Using an ice cream scoop, scoop filling evenly over the dough in a continuous circle.
- Beginning with the last triangle placed in center of pizza pan, bring point of triangle straight across filling. Next, bring point of the opposite outside triangle diagonally across filling, covering point of previous triangle. The filling will show.
- Repeat, overlapping points of inside and outside triangles to form a wreath. Tuck the last end under first.
- Brush top of wreath with egg white.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!

ROASTED TURKEY WITH MAPLE CRANBERRY GLAZE
I prepare turkey with a taste of Canada in mind. The sweet maple flavor comes through even in the breast meat. You may start to notice it's caramelized color after about 2 hours. That's when I cover it loosely with foil while it finishes cooking. The meat will stay tender and juicy. -Suzanne Anctil, West Vancouver, British Columbia

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees with rack on lowest level. In a large saucepan, melt 1 1/2 cups butter; add white wine. Turn off heat, leaving mixture on top of stove to keep warm. Fold a large piece of cheesecloth into quarters; cut it into a 17-inch, four-layer square. Immerse cheesecloth in wine mixture, and set aside to soak.
- Place turkey, breast side up, on a clean work surface. Fold wing tips under turkey. Season cavity with salt and pepper.
- Fill large cavity loosely with 7 to 8 cups stuffing. Tie legs together loosely with kitchen twine. Stuff the turkey neck cavity, fold neck flap under, and secure with a bamboo skewer. Rub turkey with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, and season with salt and pepper.
- Remove cheesecloth from liquid; squeeze lightly, leaving it very damp. Spread it evenly over breast and leg area.
- Arrange onions in a large, heavy roasting pan. Place turkey on top of onions; transfer to oven, and roast 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Pour a quarter of the wine mixture over cheesecloth and exposed parts of turkey; continue roasting 2 hours more, basting every 30 minutes.
- When all the wine mixture has been used, remove the cheesecloth and discard; continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 155 degrees. about 40 minutes more.
- Brush the turkey with the cranberry glaze, coating completely. Roast turkey 10 to 15 minutes more. Brush turkey again to coat, and continue cooking 10 minutes more to set the glaze (the turkey should register 165 degrees).
- Transfer turkey to a carving board; let rest about 30 minutes before carving. Reserve pan juices for preparing gravy.
Tips:

- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries and nuts by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they will blend well with the other ingredients.
- This recipe can be made ahead of time. Simply prepare the filling and store it in the refrigerator overnight. Then, assemble the wreath and bake it when you're ready to serve.
- When assembling the wreath, be sure to press the edges of the dough together firmly. This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out while baking.
- Bake the wreath until the dough is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Let the wreath cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- This recipe makes a great appetizer or main course. It's also perfect for holiday parties.
