Flavor-Packed Turkey Roll-Ups with Stuffing (Printable)
Tender turkey breast wrapped around savory stuffing and cheese, baked in rich gravy for a comforting dinner ready in 50 minutes.
# What's Needed:
→ Turkey
01 - 8 thin slices turkey breast (about 1.5 lbs)
→ Stuffing
02 - 2 cups prepared stuffing (from a box mix or homemade)
→ Cheese
03 - 4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese, halved
→ Sauce
04 - 1 cup turkey or chicken gravy
→ Garnish
05 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
02 - Lay turkey slices flat on a clean surface. Place 2-3 tablespoons of prepared stuffing on each slice, then top with half a slice of cheese.
03 - Roll up each turkey slice around the stuffing and cheese, securing with toothpicks if needed to hold the shape.
04 - Arrange the roll-ups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly.
05 - Pour the gravy evenly over the roll-ups. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
06 - Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
# Tips for Success:
01 -
- It comes together in under an hour but tastes like you spent all day cooking
- The turkey stays incredibly juicy because it bakes in its own gravy blanket
- You can prep everything ahead and just pop it in the oven when guests arrive
02 -
- Dry stuffing equals dry roll-ups. If your stuffing seems crumbly, mix in a tablespoon of melted butter or broth before adding it to the turkey.
- The foil step is non-negotiable. I tried skipping it once and the turkey came out tough and the stuffing turned into croutons.
03 -
- Let the roll-ups rest for five minutes after baking so the gravy thickens up slightly
- Remove toothpicks before serving, or at least warn your guests they're there
