How to Make Turkey & Stuffing Roll Ups
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Servings: 8
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lay out the thick slices of deli turkey on a clean working surface.
- Stuffing the Turkey Slices: Place a generous portion of the prepared stuffing on one end of each turkey slice.
- Adding the Cranberry Sauce and Gravy: Spoon the canned cranberry sauce into a bowl and stir it up to give it a looser consistency. Equally divide the cranberry sauce over the stuffing on each piece of turkey. Gently roll up each turkey slice, enveloping the stuffing, and place them seam side up in a greased baking dish and secure them with a toothpick. Pour the gravy evenly over the top of each roll up.
- Baking: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the top becomes slightly golden and the sauce is bubbly.
- Serving: Allow the turkey stuffing roll ups to cool slightly before transferring them to serving plates.
- Garnishing (Optional): Consider garnishing with fresh parsley or herbs of your choice.

Helpful Tips & Substitutions
Can This be Frozen?
Absolutely! If you’re like me and love having ready-to-eat meals in the freezer, these roll ups will be your new best friend.
Just ensure they’re cooled down before you wrap them in foil or freezer-safe bags.
When hunger strikes, thaw them in the fridge overnight and reheat as mentioned above.
Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?
Totally! Preparing the roll ups a day in advance can save you time on the day you plan to serve them.
Keep them in the fridge, and when you’re ready, follow the baking instructions. Easy peasy!
Substitutions & Variations
Being stuck in a recipe rut is no fun. Thankfully, these roll ups are anything but rigid. Here are some ideas:
1. Veggie Delight: Mix some sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers into the stuffing.
2. Cheese, Please: Add some grated cheese in the roll ups for a gooey delight.
3. Meat Variations: Not a turkey fan? Swap it out with a thick slice of ham or chicken. Just as yum!
Helpful Cooking Notes
- Avoid Soggy Roll Ups: Make sure your stuffing isn’t too wet. We’re aiming for moist, not mushy.
- Warm it up: You can slightly warm the turkey slices before stuffing if they are too stiff to roll easily.
- Size Matters: Be mindful of overstuffing the turkey slices, as they might become difficult to roll or might tear. Toothpicks are your BFFs here. They’ll ensure the roll ups remain intact during baking.
- Add a Nice Touch: Consider briefly searing the outside of the turkey rolls in a hot skillet before placing them in the baking dish. This gives the roll ups a nice texture and color.
There you have it, folks! A wholesome, delightful dish that brings the cozy vibes of Thanksgiving to your table, minus the stress.
