Turkey Cranberry Wreath – Pampered Chef (Video)

Subscribe below to get emails whenever I share new recipes and tutorials!

Buttery crescent rolls filled with delicious cranberry-studded turkey filling will impress everyone, and it’s oh-so-easy to make! We love this recipe from Pampered Chef, it’s a go-to for some of our Thanksgiving leftovers, and I like that we can freeze slices individually to have later.

For this recipe, I used the Extra-Large Scoop, Baker’s Roller and Large Round Stone:

Extra-Large Scoop

Jumbo Cookie Scoop

This heavy-duty scoop is the tool you need! With a 4 tbsp (60-mL) capacity, it’s the perfect size for jumbo cookies, portioning batter into baking pans, or even making meatballs. It’s also great for serving mashed potatoes, other side dishes, and desserts!

Stainless Steel Scoops

Our heavy-duty stainless scoops are the perfect way to portion everything from batter and dough to filling and salads. The squeeze-action handle makes them easy to use, even one-handed, and the scraping blade ensures every last bit comes out.

Product Details

Approximately 4 tbsp (60 mL)
Heavy-duty stainless steel resists rust
Squeeze-action handle with scraping blade
Dishwasher-safe

Baker’s Roller

Rolling and shaping dough is easy with the Baker’s Roller^®. The two roller sizes are designed to help you get into the corners of sheet pans and up the sides of pie plates for even coverage. The unique, removable pastry tool has a rounded end for creating decorative edges, and a forked end for piercing dough to allow steam to vent.

Details

10¼” long.
Rollers are stain-resistant and slightly textured to minimize dough sticking.
Contoured nylon handle has two finger rests for comfort and control.
Dishwasher-safe.

Large Round Stone

Make Tasty Pizza at Home with the Large Round Stone.

It’s great for frozen pizza, coffee cakes, taco rings, pull-apart bread wreaths, and more! The ¾” (2-cm) lip around the edge keeps food and drippings contained, so you can use it to make cookies and brownies. The unglazed interior gives you the light, crispy results our stoneware is known for while the beautiful satin white glazed exterior and easy-to-hold handle design make it the perfect oven-to-table piece.

Made in USA

Product Details

13 ½” (34-cm) diameter, 16 ¼” (41-cm) diameter with handles
Satin white exterior glaze with unglazed interior
No preheating necessary—just place food on stoneware and cook
Microwave-, freezer- and conventional and convection oven-safe to 500°F (260°C)
Pan scraper included for easy cleanup
Dishwasher-safe

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

2 packages (8 oz/250 g each) refrigerated crescent rolls
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp honey Dijon mustard
½ tsp coarsely ground black pepper
2 cups chopped cooked turkey
½ cup sliced celery
3 tbsp snipped fresh parsley
½ cup sweetened dried cranberries
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
¼ cup walnuts, coarsely chopped – optional
1 egg white, beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C.

Chop leftover turkey, dice celery, snip parsley, chop walnuts, and grate cheese; set all aside.

Unroll crescent dough; separate it into 16 triangles. With wide ends of triangles toward the center, arrange 8 triangles in a circle on a Large Round Stone. Corners of wide ends will touch and points will extend 1 inch beyond edge of baking stone. Arrange remaining 8 triangles in center, matching wide ends. Seal seams using Baker’s Roller. (Points will overlap in center; do not seal.)

Combine chopped leftover turkey, mayonnaise, mustard, pepper, celery, parsley, and dried cranberries in large mixing bowl. Add in grated cheese, mixing to combine.

Using Extra-Large Scoop, Scoop filling over seams of dough, forming a circle. Sprinkle chopped walnuts over filling (if using).

Beginning in center, lift one dough triangle across filling mixture. Continue alternating with outer triangles, slightly overlapping to form wreath. Tuck last end under first.

Brush beaten egg white lightly over dough. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

That’s a wrap! I’d love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment below. Your feedback means a lot to me! Together, we’re making kitchen life easier, one Pampered Chef tool at a time.

Apple Cider Cranberry Sauce – Allrecipes (Video)

2-qt. (1.9-L) Nonstick Sauce Pan

Subscribe below to get emails whenever I share new recipes and tutorials!

A wonderful combination of cranberries, apple and just a hint of orange make this cranberry sauce delightful! This recipe comes from Jay Lynne Stuart on Allrecipes, and it’s our family’s favorite!

For this recipe, I used my 2-qt. (1.9-L) Nonstick Sauce Pan and, once it was chilled, my

1-qt. Insulated Serving Bowl.

A Small Saucepan for Every Kitchen

This 2-qt. (2-L) sauce pan will be your go-to for sauces, melting butter, and reheating soup. The lid has straining holes, so you can use it to drain fat and liquids without dirtying a separate colander. And the pour spout will help you keep your stove, counters, and table drip-free. The high-quality nonstick coating means even gooey, cheesy sauces won’t stick. And when you’re done cooking, pop it in the dishwasher for hassle-free cleanup.

About Brilliance Nonstick Cookware

1-qt. Insulated Serving Bowl

Despite all the best planning, getting an entire meal on the table that’s served warm can feel impossible. With an insulated serving bowl, you can keep food warm up to 2 hours on your holiday table or during mealtimes. The 1-qt. (1-L) capacity is perfect for serving sauces, gravies, or hot dips like Spinach & Artichoke Dip or BBQ Chicken Dip.

The clear plastic lid is double-walled and lets you see what’s inside. The lid also hooks onto the side of the bowl, making it easier to dish out and serve food. The bowl’s double-walled vacuum insulation keeps food hot, prevents sweating, and has a stay-cool exterior. Works with cold foods, too!

Click the link to get your own 2-qt. (1.9-L) Nonstick Sauce Pan and 1-qt. Insulated Serving Bowl in time for the holidays. You’ll be glad you did.

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups apple cider
¾ cup granulated sugar
4 cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
12 whole cloves
Cheesecloth
2 ½ cups fresh cranberries

Instructions

Zest orange, reserving one tablespoon for this recipe, freeze the rest for another use.

Place cinnamon sticks and cloves in a small square of cheesecloth, tying to close.

Combine apple cider, sugar and zest in a medium saucepan; add in cinnamon sticks and cloves contained in cheesecloth. Stir, and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes to let flavors meld.

Add cranberries, and bring to a boil. Cook until cranberries begin to pop, about 5-10 minutes. Turn heat to low, and cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove cheesecloth and discard. Pour into serving dish and cool and thicken.

That’s it! I hope that you’ll give this a try, and please leave a comment to let me know what you think about this recipe. I would love to hear from you. Let’s make great food together!

Perfect Roast Turkey – Ina Garten (Video)

14 x 10 (35-cm x 25-cm) Enameled Cast Iron Pan

Subscribe below to get emails whenever I share new recipes and tutorials!

Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, this recipe from Ina Garten and Food Network is the perfect way to make your turkey – so you can truly enjoy the day with those you love.

This is the first time I’ve made this turkey, as I have been very loyal to my other recipe since 1997. I can honestly say that this recipe is just as good and, due to the fact that there is substantially less prep work, this one I will definitely keep making!

I used my 14 x 10 (35-cm x 25-cm) Enameled Cast Iron Pan to roast my turkey – it was perfect in every way!!

The Perfect Cast Iron Roasting Pan for Big Meals

This pan will be your secret weapon for special occasions and everyday meals, because it’s like two pans in one: A 3.5″ (9-cm) deep lasagna pan for big batches of family favorites, and a cast iron pan with rack for roast, chicken, and turkey dinners.

The stainless-steel rack lets air circulate around big cuts of meat for even cooking, and the handles sit high so they’re easy to grab and fold for storage. The high sides are great for baked pasta, lasagna, and casseroles, and keep your food from bubbling over. With the durability of cast iron comes a certain weightiness. But not to worry—this pan has two sturdy handles to help you lift and carry from the oven right to your dinner table.

About Enameled Cast Iron

Enameled cast iron is the kind of cookware that will become a fixture at every special meal you make—and that includes weeknight meals. The light enameled exterior means you can start using it right away—no seasoning required—and you can see food browning, so you can avoid scorching it. The beautifully enameled exterior lets you bring this cookware right from the stove or oven to the table, and cast iron’s excellent heat retention means food stays hot and delicious—even if not everyone makes it to the table as soon as dinner’s ready.

Guarantee

Lifetime Guarantee

I used our beautiful Carving Set to slice the turkey:

Professional-Quality Carving Set

Carving roasts, holiday hams, or Thanksgiving turkeys doesn’t have to be a daunting task. All you need is a professional-grade carving set to help you carve thin, precise slices, safely, and with impressive results. That’s why this carving knife set is part of our premium forged cutlery collection.

Our carving knife has a long, narrow 8″ (20-cm) blade with a pointed tip and the carving fork has two sharp, long prongs to hold the meat firmly in place while slicing to help keep your hands safe.

About Forged Cutlery

Each piece is crafted from a single piece of fully forged, high-carbon German steel which provides superior cutting and stability, so you can conquer even the biggest cutting tasks. Our forged cutlery has a full tang (the part of the metal that extends into the handle), so you’re guaranteed extra strength and perfect balance. Special bolsters make a smooth transition from the handle to evenly distribute the weight. The ergonomic, pakka wood handles provide a comfortable grip and control. With a lifetime guarantee, you’ll be ready for a lifetime of family gatherings.

Let’s jump right in!!!

Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
Zest from one lemon
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 fresh turkey (10-12 pounds)
Kosher salt
Freshly Ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh thyme
1 whole lemon, halved
1 onion, quartered
1 head of garlic, cut in half crosswise

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F/180⁰C.

Prepare your lemon, onion and garlic.

Chop thyme and zest lemon. Combine butter, chopped thyme, zest, salt and pepper to taste in small bowl. Mix well to combine.

Remove giblets from turkey, then wash inside and out, then pat dry and place in Roasting Pan. Lift skin on breast of turkey, then insert butter mixture liberally under the skin and above. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place thyme, onion, lemon and garlic inside the cavity of the turkey. Tie legs and wings to body with cooking twine.

Roast turkey about 2 1/2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F/75⁰C the thickest part of the turkey thigh, pricking the bird just above the crease between the thigh and the place where the turkey breast begins. The juices should run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh. Remove the turkey to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil; let rest for 20 minutes before carving.

That’s it! I hope that you’ll give this a try, and please leave a comment to let me know what you think about this recipe. I would love to hear from you. Let’s make great food together!!

That’s a wrap! I’d love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment below. Your feedback means a lot to me! Together, we’re making kitchen life easier, one Pampered Chef tool at a time.
