Holiday Chicken Sausage Wreath Recipes

HOLIDAY CHICKEN & SAUSAGE WREATH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. On an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan, arrange triangles in a ring with points toward the outside, wide ends overlapping and leaving a 3-in. circle open in center. Press overlapping edges of dough to seal., In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 4-6 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients., Spoon mixture across wide end of triangles. Fold pointed end of triangles over filling, tucking points under to form a ring (filling will be visible). Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.

HOLIDAY BISCUIT WREATH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch tube pan with cooking spray.
• Cut each biscuit into 2 half moons to make 48 biscuit pieces. Separate the pieces into 2 piles.
• Working with half of the dough, flatten a piece of biscuit in your hand and stuff it with a cheese cube and about 1/4 teaspoon fig preserves (it is easier to roll if you use the little pieces of fig from the preserves). Gather the dough around it and roll into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough, cheese and jam to make 24 balls; set aside.
• With the remaining dough, stuff and roll each piece of biscuit with an olive.
• Toss the almonds and parsley together in a medium bowl. Toss the Cheddar, paprika and cayenne together in another medium bowl. Put the melted butter in a small bowl.
• Alternating every so often between the two flavors, dip the cheese and jam balls in butter, then roll them to coat in the almond topping; and dip the olive balls in butter and roll them to coat in the Cheddar topping. Arrange the balls in the tube pan so that the flavors are interspersed.
• Bake the bread until golden brown all over and the dough is baked through, about 35 minutes. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate and serve warm.

PIGS IN A WREATH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and then place an 8-inch cake pan in the center to use as a guide for making the wreath.
• Cut each sausage in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 pieces. Cut the crescent rolls in half from the tip of the triangle to the center of the bottom (see Cook's Note). Roll up each sausage piece in a crescent roll piece. Arrange the rolled sausages around the cake pan flat-side down and touching one another. Remove the cake pan. Egg wash the tops of the rolled sausages to help them stick them together.
• Bake the wreath until the dough is golden brown and puffed, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the wreath cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, make the Parmesan mustard dip: Mix the sour cream, Parmesan, mustard and chives together in a small bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slowly push the wreath off the parchment and onto a serving platter. Serve with the dip in the center.

HOLIDAY WREATHS

• Melt margarine in a large pan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until marshmallows melt and mixture is syrupy. Remove from heat. Stir in food coloring. Add corn flakes and stir until well coated.
• Drop mixture, by 1/4 cupful, onto cookie sheet. Using buttered fingers, quickly shape into individual wreaths. Dot with cinnamon candies

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE HOLIDAY WREATH

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet, add sausage, and cook until no longer pink.
• In a large bowl combine everything except crescent rolls.
• Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
• Pre heat oven to 375°
• Use a pizza pan that has been lined with aluminum foil (no clean up) Spray liberally with pam before you start.
• If you use a pizza pan for this it will be easier to keep it in the round. Arrange the crescent rolls in a circle, long pointy ends facing out, short fat ends overlapping on the pan.
• Put the filling evenly all around the wreath on the widest part of the dough. A disher works great here.
• Fold the long pointy end back over the filling in the wreath, tucking in a little at the center.
• Not all the filling will be covered, that's what you want.
• bake for 20 minutes until golden, and expect to hear WOW when you bring it out. This never fails to impress.
