Preheat oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and chives until smooth and well blended.

Fold in diced turkey and chopped cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Arrange crescent triangles in a circle on the baking sheet with wide ends overlapping in center and points extending outward like sun rays.

Spoon the turkey mixture evenly over the wide ends of triangles in the center ring area.

Fold the pointed ends of triangles up and over the filling, tucking under the wide ends to create a ring shape.

Brush the entire ring with beaten egg wash for golden color and shine.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through, rotating halfway through baking.
