Turkey Stuffing Roll-Ups

Turkey Recipe

Turkey Stuffing Roll-Ups are a delicious and fun way to serve a classic Thanksgiving dinner in a more compact, easy-to-eat form. Here’s how to make them:

### Ingredients:

#### For the Turkey Roll-Ups:

– 4 large turkey cutlets or thin slices of turkey breast (about 1/4 inch thick)

– 2 cups prepared stuffing (use your favorite recipe or store-bought)

– 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (optional, for extra flavor)

– Salt and pepper to taste

– 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

#### For the Gravy (optional but recommended):

– 2 tablespoons butter

– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

– 2 cups turkey or chicken broth

– Salt and pepper to taste

– 1/2 teaspoon thyme or sage (optional, for extra flavor)

### Instructions:

#### 1. Prepare the Turkey:

   – Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

   – If the turkey cutlets are too thick, pound them with a meat mallet to about 1/4 inch thickness.

   – Season the turkey cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides.

#### 2. Assemble the Roll-Ups:

   – Place a turkey cutlet flat on a clean surface.

   – Spoon about 1/2 cup of stuffing onto the center of the cutlet. If you like a touch of sweetness, you can also add a spoonful of cranberry sauce on top of the stuffing.

   – Carefully roll up the turkey cutlet, starting from one end and rolling towards the other, tucking in the sides if possible. Secure the roll with toothpicks if needed.

   – Repeat with the remaining turkey cutlets and stuffing.

#### 3. Cook the Roll-Ups:

   – Heat the olive oil or melted butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

   – Add the turkey roll-ups seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.

   – Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the turkey is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

#### 4. Prepare the Gravy (Optional):

   – While the turkey roll-ups are baking, prepare the gravy.

   – In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

   – Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it forms a smooth paste (roux).

   – Gradually whisk in the turkey or chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps.

   – Continue to cook, whisking frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

   – Season with salt, pepper, and thyme or sage if using. Remove from heat.

#### 5. Serve:

   – Once the turkey roll-ups are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.

   – Carefully remove the toothpicks and slice the roll-ups if desired.

   – Drizzle the turkey rolls with the prepared gravy or serve the gravy on the side.

   – Garnish with fresh herbs, like parsley or thyme, for an extra touch.

### Tips:

– **Stuffing Variations:** You can use any type of stuffing you like—classic bread stuffing, cornbread stuffing, or even a wild rice stuffing.

– **Make-Ahead:** You can assemble the roll-ups ahead of time and refrigerate them. Just bake them a bit longer when you’re ready to cook.

– **Side Dishes:** Serve these roll-ups with mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

This Turkey Stuffing Roll-Up Dinner is a perfect way to enjoy the flavors of Thanksgiving any time of year in a fun and convenient format! ????
