Ingredients

Scale

Turkey Roll-Ups

  • 8 slices of turkey breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 package (6 oz) of stuffing mix
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup of cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup of butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried sage

Creamy Gravy

  • 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups of milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for even baking of the turkey roll-ups.
  2. Prepare Stuffing Mix: Follow the package instructions for the stuffing mix, but use chicken broth instead of water to enhance the flavor and moisture of the stuffing.
  3. Assemble Roll-Ups: Lay out the turkey slices on a clean surface and evenly distribute the prepared stuffing over each slice. Gently roll up each turkey slice around the stuffing and place the rolls seam-side down in a greased baking dish to prevent unraveling during cooking.
  4. Add Cranberry Sage Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, cranberry sauce, and dried sage. Pour this flavorful mixture evenly over the turkey roll-ups to infuse them with sweetness and herbal notes.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil to keep the roll-ups moist and bake for 25 minutes until the turkey is heated through and the flavors meld together.
  6. Prepare Creamy Gravy: While the roll-ups bake, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux and cook for a minute to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously until the gravy is smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Remove the turkey roll-ups from the oven and plate them. Drizzle generously with the creamy gravy and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired for a fresh, colorful finish.

Notes

  • Using chicken broth instead of water to prepare the stuffing adds depth of flavor.
  • Covering the baking dish with foil prevents the roll-ups from drying out during baking.
  • The cranberry and sage glaze adds a perfect balance of sweet and earthy flavors that complement the turkey and stuffing.
  • For a richer gravy, substitute part of the milk with cream or add a splash of chicken broth.
  • Fresh parsley garnish adds color and a subtle fresh flavor to the finished dish.
  • Ensure turkey slices are thin for easier rolling and even cooking.
