This is probably one of my favorite recipes. Tasty, easy, and so very delicious. It's what is cooking at our house for dinner tonight. What's cooking at your house?

Carnitas means 'little meats' and is traditionally fried then braised. This recipe is made much easier using the slow cooker but the results are just as tasty.

Who is eating leftovers tonight? Here's a great recipe to help use up your turkey!

Turkey Cranberry Wreath

Ingredients:
2 packages (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 cups (12 ounces) chopped cooked turkey
1/2 cup sliced celery
3 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 egg

Directions:
1-Preheat oven to 375°F. Unroll crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles. With wide ends of triangles toward the center, arrange 8 triangles in a circle on Large Round Stone with Handles. Corners of wide ends will touch and points will extend 1 inch beyond edge of baking stone. Arrange remaining 8 triangles in center, matching wide ends. Seal seams using Baker’s Roller®. (Points will overlap in center; do not seal.)

2-Place mayonnaise, mustard and black pepper in Classic Batter Bowl. Chop turkey using Food Chopper. Slice celery using Chef’s Knife. Snip parsley using Professional Shears. Add turkey, celery, parsley and cranberries to batter bowl. Grate cheese into batter bowl using Rotary Grater. Mix filling using Small Mix ’N Scraper®. Using Medium Scoop, scoop filling over seams of dough, forming a circle.

3-Coarsely chop walnuts using Food Chopper; sprinkle over filling. Beginning in center, lift one dough triangle across filling mixture. Continue alternating with outer triangles, slightly overlapping to form wreath. Tuck last end under first.

4-Separate egg over Small Batter Bowl using Egg Separator. (Discard yolk or set aside for another use.) Lightly beat egg white; brush over dough using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve using Nylon Slice 'N Serve®.
