This is a little different than other recipes of the same name. The recipe was demonstrated on a cooking segment of our local news station in the Pacific Northwest market. The amounts weren't given, so I had to guess when I made these, so the amounts are what worked best for me. So feel free to adjust the ingredients to what works best for you. These can be made as an appetizer for Thanksgiving Day, or it can be made later as a quick snack to use up leftover turkey and cranberry sauce after Thanksgiving dinner.

How To Make turkey cranberry pinwheels

Step 1

Unroll the crescent rolls and separate into rectangles. Press the seams together to form four rectangles.

Step 2

Spread cream cheese on each rectangle. Shred turkey over cream cheese and top with cranberry sauce. (You can also add some dried cranberries or finely chopped walnuts, too.) Roll up the rectangle from the short side and press the seam to seal.
Step 3

Cut each roll into 4 or 5 pinwheels, and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Step 4

Bake according to package directions (or 350°F) for 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm.
