Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups prepared stuffing (homemade or store-bought)
- 8 slices deli-style turkey (or leftover roasted turkey slices)
- 1 tbsp butter (for greasing the dish)
- 1 cup turkey or chicken gravy
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese (optional)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preparation: Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and delicately coat a baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
- Rolling Technique: Layer each turkey slice with stuffing, carefully rolling into compact cylinders and positioning them seam-side downward in the prepared dish.
- Seasoning & Moisture: Generously dust the roll-ups with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and cracked black pepper, then cascade gravy uniformly across the surface to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Cooking Process: Shield the dish with aluminum foil and roast for 20 minutes. If incorporating cheese, unveil the dish, sprinkle cheese across the top, and continue baking uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese transforms into a golden, melted blanket.
- Serving: Allow the roll-ups to rest momentarily, permitting flavors to settle, then plate alongside creamy mashed potatoes or vibrant roasted vegetables for a complete, satisfying meal.
Notes
- Choose turkey slices around 1/4 inch thick for easier rolling and even cooking, preventing tearing or uneven texture.
- Ensure stuffing is slightly cooled and not too wet to maintain roll-up structure and prevent soggy edges.
- Use toothpicks to secure roll-ups if needed, preventing them from unraveling during baking and creating a neat presentation.
- Tilt the baking dish while pouring gravy to ensure even coverage and prevent dry spots on the turkey roll-ups.
