I am planning to do the Turkey Cranberry Wreath since I've heard so many great things about it on this site for the rest of the holiday season.

I've never made it before but I've done the chicken enchilada ring seveal times and I got the idea from that. Since the chicken enchilada ring's filler requires crushed chips....what do you guys (who's done the recipe before) think about adding some stove top dressing to the filling? :confused: Has anyone done this before? or do you think it would make the recipe too dry or nasty?
 
I've never done dressing, but I don't think it needs it. I just made this for a show today & everyone loved it as it was.
 
I wouldnt add it to the filling but maybe press some into the outside like we do with the crushed chips...but it's really not necessary. The recipe is great w/o it...and it's not like adding it would show off any more tools, ya know?
 
what about making it in a batter bowl in the microwave to show off another product, and then scooping it into the inside of the wreath as a filler? That might be nice!!
 
Hi there! I'm so glad to hear that you're planning to try the Turkey Cranberry Wreath for the rest of the holiday season. It's definitely a fan favorite and I'm sure you'll love it too.I haven't personally tried adding stove top dressing to the filling, but I think it could be a delicious addition. Just make sure to adjust the amount of liquid in the filling so it doesn't become too dry. I would also recommend using a lower sodium version of the dressing to avoid the dish becoming too salty.If anyone else has tried this before, I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Otherwise, I would suggest giving it a try and see how it turns out. Happy cooking!
