Flavor-Packed Turkey Roll-Ups with Stuffing (Printable)
Tender turkey breast wrapped around savory stuffing with melted cheese, baked in rich gravy. A simple, satisfying dish perfect for any occasion.
# What You'll Need:
→ 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 breast slices flat on a clean work surface, ensuring they are fully flattened for easy rolling.
03 - Place 2-3 tablespoons of prepared stuffing in the center of each turkey slice. Top with half a slice of provolone or mozzarella cheese.
04 - Roll each turkey slice tightly around the stuffing and cheese filling. Secure with toothpicks if necessary to hold the shape.
05 - Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, spacing them evenly for uniform cooking.
06 - Pour the turkey or chicken gravy evenly over all the roll-ups, ensuring each piece is coated.
07 - Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 minutes to steam and tenderize the turkey.
08 - Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is cooked through.
09 - Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley just before serving, if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The way the cheese melts into the warm stuffing creates these incredible pockets of comfort in every single bite
- These look and taste like something from a fancy dinner party but require zero fancy cooking skills
02 -
- Those toothpicks are totally optional but they do save you from potential unrolling disasters in the oven
- Let them sit for about five minutes after baking so all those delicious juices redistribute instead of running everywhere
03 -
- Pound the turkey slices just a tiny bit between plastic wrap if they seem too thick to roll neatly
- Use a meat thermometer to hit exactly 165°F so they stay juicy instead of drying out
