Turkey Cranberry Pinwheels

This recipe is from KOMO News, Seattle's ABC affiliate. I added the amounts of turkey and cranberry sauce that worked best for me; the rest of the recipe is as posted on the station's website. It 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 from Thanksgiving dinner.

I followed the directions, and was unimpressed with the outcome. First, I found them hard to cut into pinwheels. Second, the juice bled all over my oven. Third, due to all the juice, they took nearly twice as long to bake. Fourth, I expected better flavor in the end. The cream cheese flavor didn't really come though, it mainly worked as glue. The interior consistency was still a bit doughy, and the over-all flavor wasn't cohesive.Reply

Absolutely great treats, these, & so easy to make, too! I did put the cranberry sauce in a strainer so there was less liquid in the sauce, but other than that . . . A definite keeper of a recipe, because I make cranberry sauce throughout the year! I'll also have frozen shredded turkey into February & shredded chicken breast the rest of the year, so this will be an easy do! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
