Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons cranberry sauce (whole berry or jellied)
- 6 slices deli turkey, thinly sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface, separating it into two rectangles. Press the perforations together within each rectangle to seal the seams.
Spread softened cream cheese evenly over each rectangle of crescent dough using a spatula or butter knife.
Evenly spread cranberry sauce on top of the cream cheese layer, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow.
Lay slices of deli turkey across the cranberry sauce layer, covering the surface. If desired, add a thin layer of baby spinach leaves on top of the turkey.
Starting at the short end of each rectangle, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Pinch the seam to seal securely.
Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 8 even slices to create pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the pinwheels cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
