Ingredients in Turkey & Stuffing Roll Ups

Cooked Sliced Turkey: Tender and flavorful, thin slices work best for easy rolling.
Prepared Stuffing: Your favorite homemade or store-bought stuffing packed with herbs and cozy flavors.
Gravy: Rich and savory, used both inside the rolls and drizzled on top.
Cream Cheese: Adds a creamy, slightly tangy layer inside the rolls.
Cranberry Sauce: Optional but adds a sweet-tart pop that pairs perfectly with turkey and stuffing.
Butter: Helps keep everything juicy and adds richness when baking.
Fresh Parsley: For a fresh, herby garnish that makes everything pop.

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish. Warm the stuffing slightly if it’s cold to make it easier to work with.

Assemble the Roll Ups

Lay out each turkey slice. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese if using. Spoon a small amount of stuffing onto one end and roll it up tightly. Place seam-side down in the baking dish.

Top with Gravy

Pour gravy generously over the roll ups. Dot with small pieces of butter for extra richness.

Bake

Cover with foil and bake for 20–25 minutes until heated through and bubbling. Remove foil in the last 5 minutes to slightly brown the tops.

Garnish and Serve

Drizzle with additional warm gravy, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with a spoonful of cranberry sauce if desired.

How to Serve Turkey & Stuffing Roll Ups

These roll ups are basically a meal on their own, but you can totally round it out with a simple green salad, roasted veggies, or a scoop of mashed potatoes. Don’t forget a little extra cranberry sauce and a boatload of warm gravy for dipping. If you really want to go full festive mode, serve with a side of green bean casserole or sweet potato mash!

Additional Tips

Use thin, flexible slices of turkey — thick slices will crack when rolling.
Warm the stuffing slightly so it’s easier to spread and roll.
Make a double batch of gravy because honestly, more is more.
For extra flavor, sprinkle a little shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese over the top before baking.
If your turkey is dry, brush slices with a little broth before rolling.
Add a few dried cranberries or chopped pecans inside the rolls for a holiday twist.
Store leftovers tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze individual roll ups (before or after baking) for easy future meals.
Don’t overstuff the rolls; a little filling goes a long way!
You can substitute chicken slices if you’re out of turkey.
