TURKEY CRANBERRY PINWHEELS



Turkey Cranberry Pinwheels image

I got this recipe from Chef Marcel Cocit: I usually make these at Thanksgiving time when I have leftovers of these ingredients- I call them my "madeovers", they alway are a big hit around snack time and during football season. Note: If you don't have the cranberry relish you can use your favorite jam or jelly. Cherry or orange...

Categories     Meat Breakfast

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 oz can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or seamless dough sheet
4 Tbsp cranberry relish- with the orange and nuts
4 thinly sliced pieces of turkey or deli slices
2/3 c monterey jack cheese,shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 375^. spray a jelly roll sheet, set aside. Unroll dough and press into a 12x8-inch rectangle. Spread cranberry relish on top -leaving 1/4-inch at edges. Next place turkey evenly over relish the sprinkle with the cheese over turkey. Beginning at the longest side start to roll up; pinch long side to seal. With a serrated knife, cut into 24 slices. Place cut side down on jelly roll pan. Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan and enjoy warm or cold. Oh you are going to love these.
  • 2. Note: sometimes I use a little Ranch dressing on the meat first.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh cranberries. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they will not be as tart.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • To make the pinwheels ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them. When you're ready to bake them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for several hours.
  • Garnish the pinwheels with fresh rosemary or thyme before baking for an extra touch of flavor.
  • Serve the pinwheels warm with a dollop of cranberry sauce or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Turkey cranberry pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple dough that is filled with a sweet and tangy cranberry filling. The pinwheels are then baked until golden brown and flaky. These pinwheels are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
