My Precious Ring of Leftover Thanksgiving Dinner
Make that Thanksgiving dinner look great again on the second go around. Now you can bring something to the table that looks like you put in twice the effort. A fresh creation of leftover deliciousness!
Equipment
- 1 Circular pizza pan
Ingredients
- A Bucket of Bread (your choice - this recipe is using Traditional White)
- 2 Cups Mashed potatoes
- 2 Cups Cooked turkey, chopped
- 2 Cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 Cup Green bean casserole
- 1 Cup Stuffing
- ½ Cup Cranberry sauce
- 1 Egg
- To taste, salt, pepper, and sage or other seasoning
Instructions
- Roll out dough and cut into triangles.
- Place the longer end of the triangles in a circle onto the pan. Leave a circle in the center with all the triangle points laying over the outside edge of the pan, all the way around the pizza pan, to create a ring of dough triangles.
- Spoon in the mashed potatoes on top of the large ends of the triangles.
- Spoon in the turkey on top of the large ends of the triangles.
- Spoon in the cheese on top of the large ends of the triangles.
- Spoon in the green bean casserole (or hot dish) on top of the large ends of the triangles.
- Spoon in the stuffing (or dressing) on top of the large ends of the triangles.
- Spoon in cranberry sauce on top of the large ends of the triangles.
- Pull the pointed edges of the dough triangles up and over the filling.
- Use a knife to gently tuck each triangle dough tip underneath the inside end of the ring to secure.
- Brush the ring with a good coat of egg wash and sprinkle on some seasonings as desired (pictured is salt, pepper, and sage).
- Bake in an oven preheated to 400°F for about 25-30 minutes, or until the ring is nice golden brown.
- Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes
These recipe amounts are approximate, please feel free to add or take away any of the ingredients that you like or don't like. The idea is to stuff the ring with everything you love from your Thanksgiving dinner! The key is not to stuff it too high, or you will run out of dough to cover your final dish! Another hint is to get a piece of paper in the shape of a rectangle and draw a line from one corner to the other. Cut it out and use it as a right angle triangle template for the size of ring you want.
