- leftover cooked stuffing

HOW TO MAKE A TURKEY AND STUFFING CRESCENT RING:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lay out a piece of parchment paper on a large cookie sheet, and spray with non stick spray. Place a small bowl in the center (you’ll use this later for the gravy.) Unroll the cans of crescent rolls. Lay out rolls, overlapping around the base of the bowl forming a sun-shape.
Place turkey around the inside edge of the rolls. Optional: season the turkey with a bit of salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Spread stuffing evenly on top of shredded turkey.
Next place the spinach evenly around on top of the turkey/stuffing layer.
Spread the cranberry sauce evenly around on top of spinach leaves.
Finally, top the cranberry sauce with shredded cheese.
Remove the bowl from the center. Pull the end of the roll over the top and tuck under the base of the rolls. Repeat with remaining rolls.
Mix together the melted butter and poultry seasoning and brush over crescent rolls.
Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. When rolls have baked and are golden brown, remove from oven. Place bowl back into the center of the rolls and fill with warm gravy.
Slice rolls and serve!
