Ingredients

US Customary - Metric
  • ½ lb sliced turkey breast fully cooked (leftovers work wonders for this)
  • ⅓ cup cranberry sauce divided
  • 5 oz brie wheel can also use a 7oz wheel
  • 1 can crescent rolls uncooked
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh parsley divided
  • ¼ tsp ground sage
  • fresh sage leaves for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit your baking sheet.
  • Place the parchment on a clean surface. Unroll the tube of crescent rolls and separate them along the perforations. Place 2 of the dough pieces side by side near the top end of the parchment paper. The points of the triangles will be pointed out to the sides.
    Place another two dough pieces approximately 2.5 inches from the top of the previous triangles. You want at least a half an inch overlap. Continue doing this will the remainder of the dough.
    When the dough triangles are in place, it will resemble a Christmas tree.
  • Place half the turkey slices down the middle of the dough tree. Leave the sides of the dough sticking out naked.
  • Slice the brie and trim the rind off. Place half the brie over the turkey.
  • Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the cranberry sauce.
  • Repeat step 3, 4 and 5 so that you end up with 2 layer each of turkey, brie and cranberry sauce. Reserve any remaining cranberry for topping each slice later.
