Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Separate the rolls; arrange rolls on the prepared pan in a circle, with the widest portion on the inside and the edges overlapping.
In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and 1 t. rosemary or thyme; stir well.
Spread mixture over the widest portion of the crescent rolls. Sprinkle on 1 c. shredded cheese.
Arrange the turkey over the cheese, overlapping slightly. Spread half of the cranberry sauce over the turkey; top with the remaining 1 c. cheese.
Bring the narrow end of each crescent dough piece over the filling; tuck and secure each under the ring.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, poppy seeds, garlic, and salt. Brush on the top and sides of the crescent dough.
Bake for 22-24 minutes until golden. Allow to rest on the pan for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the baked ring with the reserved 1 1/2 t. rosemary or thyme.
Serve with the remaining cranberry sauce on the side.
