There’s nothing I dislike more than holiday leftovers going to waste, so I turned mine into this festive Holiday Leftovers Wreath! I used turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and cranberry sauce—just about everything I had on my Thanksgiving table, and being the cheese-lover that I am, I added mozzarella. Then I wrapped it all up in buttery crescent dough and baked it until golden brown and perfectly warmed through.

I love Thanksgiving leftovers almost as much as the meal itself. Sure, everyone knows about the classic leftover turkey sandwich, but let me introduce you to a more grown-up way to repurpose leftovers with this Holiday Leftovers Wreath. Imagine all your favorite Thanksgiving flavors wrapped up in warm, flaky crescent rolls. It’s upgraded with a little mozzarella cheese because, for me, everything’s better with cheese.

Layer your favorite leftovers on the crescent rolls, shape them into a wreath, brush with an egg wash, and bake until perfectly golden. In about 20 minutes, you’ll have a fun, festive dinner that’s guaranteed to impress. It’s cozy, creative, and the best way to turn leftovers into something new and delicious.

Substitute the turkey. If I don’t have any leftover turkey, I’ll use chicken or ham.
Add other leftovers. Feel free to add any other leftovers, such as a casserole or even mac and cheese. Just make sure not to overstuff the crescent dough, or it may be difficult to wrap the dough around the filling.
Use your favorite cheese. I LOVE cheese! I chose mozzarella, but you can add whatever you enjoy. Cheddar, feta, provolone, or Swiss would also be great.
Egg wash options. I wanted to use an egg wash on the wreath for that extra golden shine. You can also brush it with milk or melted butter instead.
