Ingredients
Instructions
- Lay the turkey breast slices flat on a clean surface.
- Place a spoonful of stuffing mix on each slice.
- Roll up the turkey slices around the stuffing to form a neat roll.
- Secure each roll with a toothpick to hold it together.
- Arrange the turkey rolls in a baking dish.
- Pour turkey gravy over the rolls evenly.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 30 minutes until heated through and slightly browned.
- Remove from oven, discard toothpicks, and serve hot with additional gravy if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs like thyme or sage into the stuffing mix. If you're looking for a lighter option, substitute turkey breast with chicken or use whole grain stuffing. To enhance moisture, you can add a bit of broth to the gravy before pouring it over the rolls for a richer taste.
Serving Suggestions
These turkey rolls can be served as a main dish alongside sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. They also pair beautifully with a light salad, such as Turkey-Green Grape Salad, for a refreshing contrast. Consider garnishing with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover turkey rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. Microwaving is also an option, but be cautious to avoid drying them out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade stuffing instead of box stuffing mix?
Absolutely! Homemade stuffing can add a personal touch and flavor to the turkey rolls. Just ensure the mixture is moist enough to hold together when rolled. You can experiment with different bread types or add-ins, like cranberries or nuts, for a unique twist.
What can I serve with turkey rolls?
Turkey rolls are versatile and can be paired with various sides. Consider serving them with buttery mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad. For a touch of sweetness, a fruit-based side like a simple apple salad complements the savory rolls nicely.
Can I make turkey rolls in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the turkey rolls ahead of time! Assemble them and store them covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold to ensure they are heated through.
