This crescent ring meal idea isn’t limited to turkey leftovers. You can create many other versions using taco meat, Sloppy Joes, or even leftover spaghetti. What an easy and versatile meal idea!
Yum! Beautiful job Lina š
Thanks so much! š
I make a buffalo chicken ring similar to this… I used shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded cheese… Same concept… I also found that the reduced fat rolls work better as they are not as greasy since you are using cheese….
That’s awesome! Thanks for the recipe and tip!
Yum!! Excellent idea
Yummm… drooling here š
I am going to try this. I love Thanksgiving leftovers but the kids get sick of it after the first day so this will spruce it up a bit for them. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Sure! Enjoy š
Yummm… awesome receipe as usual… Thanks.
Thanks Brindha!
Thank you for such great idea. I usually make it with chicken, celery, cranberries, cheese and mayo, and it is always a hit at parties. Now I can’t wait to try with Thanksgiving leftovers.
Thx …. this will be so easy for the the day after…and the smaller portion will be perfect for the diet..
Great idea! Thank you!!
Could you freeze the dish with dough uncooked and bake later?
I think you could! I haven’t tried it yet, but if you do let us know š Good idea!
Very Clever!!
We like to have Turkey, Stuffing, Potatoes and Brown Gravy on top of Toast as leftovers. So delicious with some Stouffers Macaroni and cheese on the side!!
that is what we do too, except we put it over untoasted bread! We will have to try toasting the bread. I bet that is good too ;o)
Yum! We also do the crescent ring with tuna, cheese and halved cherry tomatoes. It’s delicious!
We had Thanksgiving on Sunday with my husbands family and I just made this today with the leftovers. It was so fast and easy and yummy too! Thanks!
Oh Iām so glad! Thanks For sharing šš»
