Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the croissants in half horizontally without separating the top and bottom halves entirely.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with salt and black pepper until well combined.
Spread a generous layer of the seasoned cream cheese onto the bottom half of each croissant.
Layer 2 ounces of turkey slices on top of the cream cheese in each croissant.
Spread an even layer of cranberry sauce over the turkey slices.
Top the cranberry sauce with baby spinach leaves for a fresh, crisp texture.
Close the croissants and wrap each one loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Place the wrapped croissants on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the croissants are toasted and the filling is slightly warm.
Remove the croissants from the oven, unwrap, and carefully transfer them to a serving plate.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Turkey Cranberry Croissants!
