Instructions

Let’s roll up something amazing! Here’s how to make these Turkey & Stuffing Roll Ups:

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your roll ups bake evenly and become golden brown and delicious.

Prepare the Stuffing: If you’re using store-bought stuffing mix, follow the package directions to prepare it. If you’re using homemade stuffing, simply combine the ingredients in a bowl. Mix in the cream cheese to give the stuffing a creamy texture and more flavor.

Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay out each slice of turkey breast on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of stuffing mixture onto the center of each turkey slice. Roll up each turkey slice tightly around the stuffing, securing it with toothpicks if necessary.

Place in a Baking Dish: Arrange the rolled-up turkey slices in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. You want them to be snug, but not overcrowded.

Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the turkey roll ups for a melty, golden finish.

Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy: Once the roll ups are out of the oven, remove the toothpicks, and serve warm. These are great on their own or paired with a side of mashed potatoes, vegetables, or cranberry sauce.

How to Serve Turkey & Stuffing Roll Ups

These roll ups are perfect with a variety of sides. Here are a few ideas to enhance your meal:

• Mashed Potatoes: A classic pairing with turkey and stuffing! Creamy mashed potatoes complete the comfort food vibe.
• Green Beans or Roasted Vegetables: Add some greens to balance out the richness of the roll ups.
• Cranberry Sauce: For a sweet, tangy contrast to the savory turkey and stuffing, a dollop of cranberry sauce is the perfect addition.
• Gravy: Serve these roll ups with a side of gravy for a little extra flavor boost.

Additional Tips

• Add Sausage to the Stuffing: For an extra kick of flavor, try adding cooked sausage to your stuffing mixture. It adds richness and depth to the dish.
• Make Ahead: You can assemble the roll ups in advance and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. This is a great time-saver for busy weeknights or when you’re preparing a meal ahead of time.
• Use Chicken or Pork: If turkey isn’t your thing, you can substitute the turkey slices with chicken breast or pork tenderloin for a similar effect.
• Skip the Cheese: If you’re not a cheese fan, feel free to omit the shredded cheese from the top. The roll ups are still delicious without it.
