Great for Holiday Meal Prep or Leftovers

This dish is one of the best Thanksgiving leftover recipes, but it's also great to make fresh with deli turkey and boxed stuffing. It’s versatile, affordable, and works wonderfully for Friendsgiving, potlucks, or a stress-free holiday dinner.

Ingredients and Substitutions

What You’ll Need

• 8 slices of oven-roasted turkey breast (thicker deli-style works best)
• 1 (5 oz) box of dry stuffing mix (turkey, chicken, or cornbread flavor)
• 1 (10 oz) can of cream of chicken soup
• 1 (18 oz) jar of turkey gravy

Ingredient Notes

• Use quality turkey like Columbus Herbed Turkey Breast from Costco or deli-sliced turkey from your grocery store’s counter.
• For the stuffing, stovetop boxed stuffing is great. You can enhance it by preparing with broth instead of water for more flavor.
• Cream of chicken soup adds richness to the gravy mixture. For a different twist, try cream of mushroom or cream of celery.
• Turkey gravy can be store-bought or leftover from your Thanksgiving dinner.

Easy Ingredient Swaps

• Leftover stuffing and turkey? Use them!
• Gluten-free option: Choose GF stuffing and check labels on the soup and gravy.
• Dairy-free option: Use a dairy-free cream soup and verify your gravy is dairy-free.
• No turkey? Rotisserie chicken works beautifully in this recipe too.

How to Make Turkey & Stuffing Roll Ups

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the stuffing mix according to the box instructions. Tip: Swap water for chicken broth for extra flavor.
3. Mix the gravy: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and turkey gravy until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

4. Assemble the roll-ups:
   • Lay out one slice of turkey on a flat surface.
   • Spoon about ¼ cup of stuffing onto each slice.
   • Optional: Add a tablespoon of the gravy mix over the stuffing for moisture.
   • Roll it up and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
5. Repeat with all remaining turkey slices.

6. Pour 1½ cups of the gravy mixture over the roll-ups. Sprinkle with dried parsley if you’d like.
7. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden at the edges.

8. Warm the remaining gravy in a saucepan over medium heat while the roll-ups bake.
9. Serve hot, spooning extra gravy over the roll-ups.

Tips for the Best Results

Best Practices

• Use thick deli turkey slices to avoid tearing and make rolling easier.
• Keep your stuffing moist, not dry. A little extra broth or gravy helps.
• Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after baking—it makes serving cleaner.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Too much stuffing makes rolling hard. Stick to ¼ cup per slice.
• Thin or low-quality turkey can tear easily. Ask your deli to slice it thicker.
• Dry roll-ups usually need more gravy. Don’t be shy with it!

Time-Saving Tips

• Use boxed stuffing and pre-cooked turkey to make this dish in under an hour.
• Make the gravy mixture ahead and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble.
• Freeze leftovers in single portions for quick holiday-inspired meals later.

What to Serve with Turkey Roll Ups

Side Dish Pairings

• Creamy mashed potatoes
• Roasted Brussels sprouts or green beans
• Sweet potatoes or glazed carrots
• A side of cranberry sauce

Beautiful Presentation Ideas

• Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley
• Serve on a white platter with a drizzle of extra gravy
• Add a few roasted cranberries for festive flair

Drink Pairings

• White wine like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio
• Sparkling apple cider (great for kids and adults alike)
• A cozy cup of mulled wine or hot tea for chilly evenings

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Storing

• Let the roll-ups cool completely before storing.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freeze individual roll-ups for up to 2 months. Wrap in foil and place in a freezer-safe bag or container.

Reheating

• Microwave: Cover with a damp paper towel and heat in 30-second bursts.
• Oven: Cover with foil and reheat at 325°F for about 20 minutes.
